Blogs & News- Final- SHackett
Blogs have become an important source of news and information. They allow for behind-the-scenes perspectives and immediate reporting from anywhere via mobile devices. However, blogging can also put reporters at risk as their online activities are more easily traced, and blogging from dangerous locations can leave reporters vulnerable with no backup. While some see blogging as a threat to traditional media, others believe blogs will continue to work alongside and influence mainstream news.
Will Twitter change the way that market researchers communicate?
Most conference papers and presentations tend to focus on one of the following: users/buyers of products and services, brands, or methodology. This paper, by contrast, looks at market researchers themselves and asks whether social media in general and Twitter in particular are changing the way that researchers communicate with each other. The paper is complemented by an interactive event held at the ESOMAR APAC Conference in Bangkok (April 2010).
The paper starts by providing some background information on Twitter, before moving on to explore the
ways that market researchers are beginning to utilise Twitter, both as medium for research and as a method of opening up new and exciting channels (and back-channels) amongst researchers.
The paper includes four in-depth reviews of the impact of Twitter in Australia, China, Japan and New Zealand. Finally, the paper draws the threads together in an overall summary and list of key
recommendations.
Basics of twitter
This document provides an overview of how to use Twitter effectively for professional purposes. It discusses using Twitter for networking and promoting your work.

Best practices include following colleagues, promoting your work, and using hashtags to broaden your reach. Lists allow following groups on specific topics. The document provides examples of how to implement many Twitter features and functions.
English 104: Arguments Based on Facts & Reason
This document provides guidance on using logical appeals and evidence in an academic argumentative essay. It emphasizes relying on facts, statistics, surveys, polls, and testimonies from credible sources. Facts should be verified and statistics interpreted accurately rather than taken at face value. Surveys and polls require examination of their methodology and potential biases. Testimonies and narratives can provide human perspectives to support arguments when vetted carefully. Overall, logical appeals are most effective when sources and data are closely evaluated and incorporated logically into the essay.

Introduction to social media for journalists
The latest iteration of the introduction to social media that I do before jumping into skills training on specific platforms. I've tried a lot of different variations, but I've found that emphasizing social media's use for sourcing information is not only a revelation for most people (who tend to think of what they should put out on social media rather than what they can take it), but also gets at the heart of how it can enhance their work.

Information Skills: 3. Social Media (Natural Sciences, Bangor University)
Social media can be useful for academics to follow relevant individuals and organizations, stay up to date on new research, and promote their own work. Twitter allows following others to see short updates and links to new articles. Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley are sites where researchers can upload works, follow others in their field, and access research. It is beneficial to create profiles on sites like Google Scholar Citations and LinkedIn to track downloads, citations, and professional connections that can enhance research. While digital footprints require careful management, online networks can foster valuable international collaborations.

Trusted Execution Environment for Decentralized Process Mining
Presentation of the paper "Trusted Execution Environment for Decentralized Process Mining" given during the CAiSE 2024 Conference in Cyprus on June 7, 2024.
Operating System Used by Users in day-to-day life.pptx
Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
