Lecture presentation to identify sets of principles, standards, or rules that guide the moral action of an individual; illustrate morality and code of conduct; apply the ten commandments of computer ethics; determine some ethical issues in computing; analyze the relevant laws in computing; criticize and argue legal issues of Data Privacy, Cybercrime and Intellectual Property.
Globally, educational systems are adopting new technologies to integrate ICT in the teaching and learning process, to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need in their subject matter. In this way the teaching profession is evolving from teacher-centered to student-centered learning environments. ICT integration is understood as the usage of technology seamlessly for educational processes like transacting curricular content and students working on technology to do authentic tasks. Nowadays ICT facilitate not only the delivery of lessons but also the learning process itself. This includes computer based technologies, digital imaging, the internet, file servers, data storage devices, network infrastructure, desktops, laptops and broadcasting technologies namely radio and television, and telephone which are used as instructional tools at schools.

Intellectual Property Rights In India: Patents Trademarks And Copyrights JRA & Associates
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
Let us try and understand the basics of these intellectual property rights, how they can be applied for in India and understand how and why they are litigated so fiercely.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

30. Digital Copyright:
Myths and Facts
Myth: The full text of the journal article was posted to
a discussion list. The person who posted it to the list
will have obtained copyright clearance.
Fact: It is incredible how often you see people asking
if anyone has a copy of an article that they are
looking for, and a helpful person then responds by
posting the full text of the article to the discussion list
on which the enquirer has made the request. They
might not have even considered the copyright
implications of their actions.
31. Digital Copyright:
Myths and Facts
MYTH: I am entitled to make a copy of the
work on my Website because I am not
charging people for the material.
Fact: If you publish someone else's work to
your own Website without
permission, copyright is infringed regardless of
whether or not you charge people for the
copied material.
32. Digital Copyright:
Myths and Facts
MYTH: I have only created a link to the document
rather than making copies of it. There are no potential
legal problems with doing that.
Fact: If the link is to a pdf, for example, it could be
argued that each time the link is clicked, the entire work
is being "published". There are plenty of legal hazards
from hyper-linking, particularly if you are using frames
technology. You could be accused of "passing off“
other people's material as your own.
33. Digital Copyrights
Myths and Truths
MYTH There is no copyright symbol on the
work, so it can't be protected by copyright.
Fact: Copyright protection is automatic.
There isn't a formal registration process that
an author has to go through to have the
rights to a work; nor do they need to put a (c)
on the work in order to claim copyright
protection
34. Digital Copyrights
Myths and Truths
MYTH Anyone can copy material on the
Web using fair dealing for research as a
defence.
Fact: Fair dealing for research or private
study is restricted to fair dealing for a non-
commercial purpose or private study.
35. Digital Copyrights
Myths and Truths
MYTH : The information is accessible to anyone on the World
Wide Web. It is therefore in the public domain and internet users
have an implied licence to copy the material.
Fact: Just because information is accessible on the Web, there
is no implied licence to copy it. Copyright material sent over the
Internet or stored on Web servers will generally be protected in
the same way as material in other media.
36. Digital Copyrights
Myths and Truths
MYTH: My whole site was designed by a
professional Website designer. I paid them for the
work, and therefore they will have checked that it
is alright to use the clip art, pictures, and other
material.
Fact: Not necessarily. Not all Website designers
will check that the material used has been cleared
for copyright purposes
