Humanismos Y Pedagogos De Italia Wilber Terminado
Los humanistas italianos del Renacimiento promovieron una nueva visión de la educación basada en el estudio de las lenguas y literaturas clásicas de Grecia y Roma. Fueron protegidos por mecenas como papas, monarcas y familias ricas. Figuras como Vittorino da Feltre fundaron escuelas pioneras donde se enseñaba mediante ejercicios físicos y una relación de amor entre maestros y estudiantes, con un enfoque humanista y gradual en las artes liberales.

Digital Hippies or Cyber Thugs? Hactivism on the College Campus
Hactivism has risen since 2014 with cyber hippies protesting issues through digital means, though some actions are done simply for amusement. Many college resources like open WiFi and anonymity enable hacking of computer networks for protest, humor, or causing disruption. Colleges can help prevent hacking by giving students input, testing security, clarifying policies, and remaining vigilant for signs of intrusion like masks, slow networks, or messages left by hackers.
Short Story Lecture Notes
This document provides a list of questions to guide an analysis of short stories. It explores various elements of stories including the mode or genre, narrator perspective, characters, setting, plot, theme, symbols, and how different literary theories may analyze the story. The questions are grouped into sections about these key elements to provide a framework for close reading and interpreting short fiction.
Literature Questions
This document provides a list of questions to guide an analysis of literary works. It includes questions about genre, narrator perspective, characters, setting, plot, theme, language, and symbols. The questions are meant to explore elements like whether the story is romantic or realistic, who the narrator is, how characters are portrayed, what the setting conveys, and how the plot, theme, and symbols are developed. The goal is to analyze various components of the story's construction and meaning.
Love the Comma!
This document discusses proper use of commas, including using commas with FANBOYS (for, and, nor, or, but, yet, so) to join two independent clauses, placing commas before introductory or exit clauses, and using commas in lists. It emphasizes that commas should not be used to join two complete sentences, known as a comma splice. The key facts are that commas have four main uses - with FANBOYS, before introductory/exit phrases, for special internal information, and in lists - and understanding these uses is important for correctly punctuating sentences.
Analyzing Literature
This document provides a list of questions to guide an exploration and analysis of short stories. It covers topics such as the mode or genre of the story, the narrator's role, background details, characterization of main and minor characters, the setting, plot elements, themes, symbols, and issues of believability. The questions are meant to analyze elements like character development, plot structure, narrative techniques, themes and symbols, and how these elements work together to create meaning and achieve the overall effect of the short story.

Tulane
The document discusses the role of technology in higher education. It argues that technology is only a tool and not the answer on its own. It provides tips for successful implementation of technology including maintaining high standards, planning for issues, being positive, assessing learning rather than technology, and reflecting on lessons learned. The document also lists some free digital tools and provides an example of student use of technology.
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Writing Style
Nathaniel Hawthorne was influenced by many Puritan writers and European authors in developing his own distinctive writing style. He enjoyed reading works by Shakespeare, Spenser, Scott, Rousseau, and Bunyan. Hawthorne's writing was characterized by lengthy descriptions, formal character dialog, and use of symbols and allegory to explore themes of morality, sin, and human psychology. His background in Salem and work at the Custom House also influenced his writing.
Stepping Into Literature
The document discusses teaching literature through virtual worlds. It argues that 3D virtual worlds can make literature more engaging for students by allowing them to experience stories firsthand through interactive projects. Some example projects mentioned include adapting Dante's Inferno and The Blithedale Romance. Standards and assessments should remain the same, focusing on writing, research, analysis and citations. While an unconventional approach, students reported finding the virtual projects more interesting and effective for learning compared to traditional papers.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Demystifying Knowledge Management through Storytelling
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) invited Taylor Paschal, Knowledge & Information Management Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, to speak at a Knowledge Management Lunch and Learn hosted on June 12, 2024. All Office of Administration staff were invited to attend and received professional development credit for participating in the voluntary event.
The objectives of the Lunch and Learn presentation were to:
- Review what KM ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’
- Understand the value of KM and the benefits of engaging
- Define and reflect on your “what’s in it for me?”
- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer

We will talk about system monitoring from a few different angles. We will start by covering the basics, then discuss SLOs, how to define them, and why understanding the business well is crucial for success in this exercise.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
