Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

2. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - Introduction
Thiamine (anti-beri beri or antinuritic vitamin)
is water soluble.
It has a specific coenzyme, Thiamine
pyrophosphate (TPP or cocarboxylase) which
is mostly associated with carbohydrate
metabolism.
3.
4. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - Chemistry
Thiamine is soluble in water and easily destroyed by heat or
oxidation especially in the presence of baking soda.
The term Thiamine indicates that it is a sulphur- and nitrogen-
containing substance.
Thiamine contains a pyrimidine ring and a thiazole ring held
by a methylene bridge.
5. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - Chemistry
Thiamine is the only natural compound with thiazole
ring.
The alcohol (OH) group of thiamine is esterified with
phosphate (2 moles) to form the coenzyme, Thiamine
pyrophosphate (TPP or cocarboxylase).
The pyrophsphate moiety is donated by ATP and the
reaction is catalysed by the enzyme thiamine
pyrophosphate transferase.

decarboxylation) the irreversible conversion of pyruvate to
acetyl CoA.
This reaction is dependent on TPP, besides the other
coenzymes.
9. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Biochemical
functions
(III) α - Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is an enzyme of
the citric acid cycle.
This enzyme is comparable with pyruvate
dehydrogenase and requires TPP.
(IV) Transketolase of the hexose monophosphate shunt
is dependent on TPP.
10. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Biochemical
Functions
(V) The branched chain α - Keto acid
dehydrogenase (decarboxylase) catalyses the
oxidative decarboxylation of branched chain
aminoacids (Valine, Leucine, and isoleucine) to
the respective keto acids.
This enzyme also requires TPP.
11. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Biochemical
Functions
(VI) TPP plays an important role in the
transmission of nerve impulse.
It is believed that TPP is required for
acetylcholine sythesis and the ion
translocation of neural tissue.
12. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Biochemical
Functions
(VII) Thiamine plays a role in the conversion of the
aminoacid tyrptophan to Niacin.
(VIII) Thiamine has several indirect functions in the
body because of its role in energy metabolism like:
Maintenance of appetite.
Maintenance of muscle tone
Maintenance of healthy mental attitude.
13.
14.
15.
16. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) - Recommended
dieary allowance (RDA)
The daily requirement of thiamine depends on
the intake of carbohydrate.
A dietary supply of 1-1.5mg/day is
recommended for adults (about
0.5mg/1000cals of energy).
17.
18. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Dietary
Sources
Cereals, pulses, oil seeds, nuts and yeast are
good sources.
Polishing of rice removes about 80% of
Thiamine.
Vitamin B1 is also present in animal foods
like pork, liver, heart, kidney, milk, etc.
19.
20.
21. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Deficiency
Symptoms
The deficiency of vitamin B1 results in a
condition called Beri-Beri.
Beri-Beri is mostly seen in populations
consuming exclusively polished rice as staple
food.
22. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) – Deficiency
Symptoms
The early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are:
Loss of appetite (anorexia), Weakness,
Constipation, Nausea,
Mental depression, Peripheral neuropathy, Irritability,
etc.
Numbness in the legs complaints of ‘pins and
needles sensations’ are reported.
