Utilization of industrial waste in the construction industry
Abstract Utilization of industrial waste in construction industry. This experimental work is an effort to try to develop the awareness & importance of industrial waste management & its utilization in productive manner among the people. In today’s more environmentally-Conscious world, a more responsible approach to the environment is to increase the use of by-products of one industry which is disposed off as waste as raw material for some other industry. Developed countries have made rapid strides in the utilization of supplementary Cementitious material in cement & concrete. Lack of awareness Consumer preferences, negatives marketing strategies & Lot of miss-understanding among the people have impeded their utilization in our country. In this work I have chosen three industrial wastes for blending with Portland cement Viz. Fly ash, Blast furnace slag & waste of glass industry. All these three waste after grinding properly were blended with ordinary Portland cement in different proportions. Then that of blended cement was tested for various properties of cements such as Fineness, Standard Consistency; Soundness, Setting time & Compressive Strength. As all these three wastes in powder form are of cementitious materials, they are proved to be best when blended with Cement. I have got improved results related to most of the properties of cement as compared to that of ordinary Portland cement. All these wastes prove the slogans true that are “ash to cash” or “refuse to resource” & “wastes to wealth”. In our country annually huge quantities of wastes are produced by the industries. Instead of disposing off these wastes if they are utilized in such a manner then it will provide an eco-friendly Solution, simultaneously solving the problem of pollution. So such waste can be blended with Cement, is the step towards economy & obviously towards progress of the nation. Keywords: - fly ash, ground blast furnace slag, waste glass powder; experiments on blended cement with different proportions of wastes; cost comparison.

Complexity A Guided Tour By Melanie Mitchell
This document provides background information on complexity science and the emergence of complexity as a field of study. It discusses how reductionism was the dominant scientific approach but struggled to explain complex phenomena involving living systems, economies, technology and other real-world systems. In the 1980s, scientists realized these phenomena required an interdisciplinary approach beyond existing disciplines. This led to the founding of the Santa Fe Institute to study complex systems using new scientific foundations not yet developed. The document also provides some biographical context for the author and their interest in complexity science emerging from studies in computer science, artificial intelligence and computation in natural systems.

Religions ethology04 11
The document discusses how religions and beliefs have evolved over time based on changing human survival conditions and social developments. It argues that early hunter-gatherer societies developed shamanism while early settlements led to goddess worship. Urbanization around 3000 BC led to the rise of kingdoms, trade, conflicts and the need for higher-level belief systems. It then examines the major world religions that emerged between 1000 BC to 600 AD and their philosophical underpinnings. The document advocates for an evolution of human consciousness towards greater empathy, cooperation and sustainability in light of modern challenges facing the planet.
History: Mother of Social Sciences
Talk explains how Western Social Sciences Originated with Rejection of Christianity, and are a replacement for the functions of religion in the public sphere. To understand this requires a deep examination of European History. Since Social Science is a European religion, it is not compatible with Islam. A Sketch of how to build an alternative is presented.
You will be required to a complete a brief (~300 400 words) read
The document provides instructions for a reading response assignment. Students must write a 300-400 word response addressing key ideas and takeaways from assigned readings, comparing them to other readings, and noting any lingering questions. The response should evaluate the readings, synthesize points across readings, and list any remaining questions. Specific questions are provided about readings discussing digital information transforming media, forms of media multitasking, and how media multitasking relates to losing "quiet spaces" from deep reading. Responses will be graded as outstanding, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory based on insights, consideration of readings, and addressing the guiding questions.
Historical intro for social software
The document discusses the emergence of information technologies through a historical lens. It examines how technologies like writing, printing, and the internet have changed how information is shared and consumed over time. Early responses to information overload included marginal annotations, encyclopedias, and notebooks for personal reflection.

Unit 10
1. Critical theory is declared dead by the author, who sees this as an opportunity to reflect on the end of an era of thought.
2. Modernism embraced grand narratives like progress, universalism, and faith in science that postmodernism rejects. Postmodernism emphasizes local differences and rejects universal truths.
3. Philosophers like Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Derrida, and Lyotard contributed to postmodern anti-foundationalism and the idea that knowledge is socially constructed and tied to power relations.
4. Postmodernism is criticized for being relativistic, vague, and paradoxically relying on its own metanarrative. Its implications for research include
Broken promises. From the Enlightenment to the modern Episteme
This document summarizes and critiques Jürgen Habermas's model of the public sphere as presented in his 1962 work "Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit". It argues that while Habermas's model provides a useful framework, it idealizes history and does not fully capture changes over time. New perspectives are needed to understand alternative discourses and how digital media may be enabling a new "epistemic rupture" or revolution in structures of knowledge and power.

Humans vs. Westworld: A Cultural Science Approach
By John Hartley
What does it mean to be human? What does technology have to do with that? And how do we know where “we” stop and the non-human world – natural and artificial – begins? These questions are ever more urgent as human action changes the natural environment, while human labour is increasingly automated. What will become of us when robots achieve consciousness? The answers seem to depend much more on culture than on technology; and popular speculative fiction seems to be well ahead of formal scholarship in thinking them through. Using a cultural science framework, this presentation looks at how the problem of the human is imagined in two current hit TV series – Westworld (USA) and Humans (UK). What is at stake in their very different answers to the same troubling questions?

Renaissance Timeline by Laura Kabbabe
1) Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy in the early 14th century, vividly describing his journey through the nine circles of hell and giving people a perspective on the afterlife.
2) The Black Death pandemic in 1348 killed over 40% of Europe's population and took 150 years for the population to recover, altering feudal systems and inspiring new medical research.
3) Johannes Gutenberg invented the mechanical printing press in the 1440s, which greatly increased the production and spread of texts and ideas.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Techno-modernity: how we love it, how we fear it
- 1. Techno-modernity: how we love it, how we fear it Dr Caroline Edwards Senior Lecturer in Modern & Contemporary Literature Birkbeck, University of London
- 9. the era of techno-modernity inspires a double-sided speculative response among writers: 1. It gives concrete form to our fear of the loss of modernity and/or civilisation that we find in so many post-apocalyptic narratives (like dystopias, these are enjoying an impressive renaissance just now) – this is why we love it; 2. It inspires our fear of the kind of future modernity will deliver in its final, perfected incarnation – and this is why we hate it. Techno-modernity
- 10. But why is everyone saying such terrible things about it? Richard Hamilton, Just what is it that makes today’s home’s so different, so appealing? (1956) ‘Scientific management and scientific division of labor vastly increased the productivity of the economic, political, and cultural enterprise. Result: the higher standard of living. At the same time and on the same ground, this rational enterprise produced a pattern of mind and behavior which justified and absolved even the most destructive and oppressive features of the enterprise. Scientific-technical rationality and manipulation are welded together into new forms of social control.’ (Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man, 1964, p. 146).
- 11. From utopian dream to dystopian nightmare
- 12. H. G. Wells, Men Like Gods (1923) Life marched here; it was terrifying to think with what strides. Terrifying – because at the back of Mr. Barnstaple’s mind, as at the back of so many intelligent minds in our world still, had been the persuasion that presently everything would be known and the scientific process come to an end. And then we should be happy for ever after. (p. 126)
- 13. E. M. Forster, ‘The Machine Stops’ (1909) Imagine, if you can, a small room, hexagonal in shape like the cell of a bee. It is lighted neither by window nor by lamp, yet it is filled with a soft radiance. There are no apertures for ventilation, yet the air is fresh. There are no musical instruments, and yet, at the moment that my meditation opens, this room is throbbing with melodious sounds. An arm-chair is in the centre, by its side a reading-desk – that is all the furniture. And in the arm-chair there sits a swaddled lump of flesh – a woman, about five feet high, with a face as white as a fungus. (p. 1)
- 14. Proto-Dystopias of monopoly capitalism Émile Souvestre, Le monde tel qu’il sera (‘The World as It Will Be’, 1846) Ignatius Donnelly, Caesar’s Column (1890)
- 16. Jack London, The Iron Heel (1908) Illustration for the cover of the socialist publication The Masses, June 1914
- 17. Yevgeny Zamyatin, We (1924)
- 19. Lev Rudnev, City of the Future (1925) The city of the future
- 20. Valery Bryusov, The Republic of the Southern Cross (1907) Bryusov under the table, c. 1900
- 21. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (1932)
- 23. Naomi Mitchison, We Have Been Warned (1935) Storm Jameson, In the Second Year (1936) Katharine Burdekin, Swastika Night (1937) Feminist anti-fascist dystopias
- 24. Katherine Burdekin (Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)
