    1. Additionally, AI can be used for predictive maintenance of medical equipment. By using AI algorithms to predict when equipment is likely to fail, hospitals can schedule maintenance in advance, reducing the number of equipment failures that lead to patient complaints and thus improving patient satisfaction.

      As such, hospitals can implement artificial intelligence to maintain their equipment. AI evaluates data from medical devices and forecasts when there might be an interruptive failure, similar to how your phone suggests it’s time for a software upgrade or when the battery needs replacing. Hospitals can now repair or service equipment prior to a failure, preventing a breakdown, treatment delays, and improving patient satisfaction; even if the equipment fails, the prognosis that everything was okay until it failed brings more satisfaction for patient care.

    2. One of the key ways in which AI is being used in diagnostic histopathology is through image analysis. AI algorithms can be utilized to analyse microscopic images of tissue samples, which can then be used to identify abnormalities and assist in the diagnosis of various medical conditions. This has the potential to greatly improve the accuracy of diagnoses and help ensure that patients receive the most effective and appropriate treatment.

      The use of AI in diagnostic histopathology using image analysis is a great benefit because it can help speed up the process of analyzing the microscopic image and find abnormalities a lot faster than a human can. The use of AI in histopathology can also compare a normal tissue sample to the one that is being analyzed, and if any abnormalities are present, it can analyze what the abnormality is and make an accurate diagnosis of the abnormality and how it can be treated.

    3. By analysing the data, trends and patterns can be identified, allowing hospitals to pinpoint areas that require improvement and make informed decisions on how to address patient concerns.

      Being able to easily pinpoint areas that need improvement can allow for hospitals to take their patient’s feedback seriously and in a timely manner .

    4. To address these issues, universities must carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of AI integration and implement strict policies to ensure fair and ethical evaluation of medical students.

      Just as AI can transform the medical education scene with increased efficiency and individualized help, AI comes with its own set of problems. It’s not perfect and just like any piece of technology, it can fail.

    12. AI in publishingArtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the publishing of scientific articles in journals. The advancements in AI technology are likely to have a significant impact on the publishing process, offering new and improved ways to manage the peer-review process, enhance the quality of peer review, and enable new forms of publication. One way in which AI is expected to affect the publishing process is by streamlining the peer-review process. With the use of AI algorithms, the publishing process can become more efficient by automating the peer-review process, thereby reducing the workload on human reviewers. This can lead to faster publication times and an improved efficiency in the publishing process. Moreover, AI has the potential to enhance the quality of peer review. AI algorithms can be employed to analyse large amounts of data and identify patterns that may be missed by human reviewers. This could result in more thorough and accurate peer review and help to identify potential biases in the review process. This is crucial in ensuring that scientific information is accurate, valid, and reliable. AI can also enable new forms of publication, such as interactive articles that incorporate multimedia and allow for more immersive experiences for readers. This provides a more engaging and accessible way for readers to consume scientific information and can help to improve the overall impact of scientific publications.

      The use of AI in dental and medical education shows how technology may improve learning effectiveness and security. Virtual simulations provide a safe yet realistic setting for skill development by enabling students to rehearse difficult operations without endangering patients. But these advancements also bring with them new difficulties, like less human connection and a reliance on robots to solve problems. No algorithm can completely replace empathy, flexibility, and ethical thinking, which are still necessary for true competency in the healthcare industry. Thus, rather than taking the role of human instruction, AI should be seen as a supplement to it.

    13. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into medical and dental education, offering numerous benefits to both students and instructors. One of the main applications of AI in this field is virtual simulation and training, allowing students to practice complex procedures on virtual patients without risking harm to real patients. This type of hands-on training is also customizable, enabling students to work at their own pace and repeat procedures until they have mastered them.

      Medical and dentistry students can safely rehearse complex procedures using AI-powered virtual simulations, which fosters skill development prior to actual patient interactions. This experiential learning is one of AI's most potent educational benefits. However, the worry about fewer human connections is legitimate; students could grow overly reliant on technology and lose their confidence in actual clinical situations. Thus, traditional therapeutic practice should be complemented by AI rather than replaced.

    14. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical radiology has the potential to bring about a significant improvement in patient outcomes and the accuracy of diagnoses. Medical radiology plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions, and the use of AI has the potential to enhance this important field in a number of ways.

      The authors speak of how AI in the field of radiology the potential has to provide more accurate diagnostic imaging by detecting abnormalities on X-rays and CT scans. This can save time and avoid human mistakes, especially in large hospitals. However, I think human experience is still required to interpret ambiguous results and provide empathy to patients. AI should be viewed as an auxiliary tool, but not a replacement for the radiologist's experience.

    15. One of the key benefits of AI in healthcare is the ability to provide personalized health information.

      AI’s ability to analyze medical histories and lifestyle factors to offer personalized health recommendations represents a major step forward in preventive care. However, this personalization depends heavily on the accuracy and fairness of the datasets used. If the data contain biases or missing variables, the AI’s suggestions might mislead patients rather than help them. This paragraph made me think about how much responsibility healthcare professionals have when interpreting AI-generated advice.

    16. However, there are also concerns regarding the quality of AI-generated questions compared to those created by human examiners with years of experience and knowledge. AI algorithms may also generate questions that are too easy, too difficult, or not relevant to the course material. The lack of creativity in AI-generated questions can also result in exams that are less engaging for students.

      This paragraph discusses the potential drawbacks of using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate exams or assignments. It points out that AI generated questions lack quality and creativity. Due to the questions generated by AI they might be too easy, difficult or not at all engaging for learners. This raises concerns about AI's effectiveness and its assessments in learning outcomes.

    17. Finally, AI algorithms can play a crucial role in supporting reproducibility in scientific research. AI can be utilized to analyse and validate scientific data, helping to support the reproducibility of research. This can help to improve the overall quality of scientific publications and reduce the number of retractions due to errors or inaccuracies, thereby enhancing the credibility and reliability of scientific information

      This paragraph explains how artificial intelligence (AI) contributes to the reproducibility of scientific research. And it also highlights that AI algorithms can analyze and validate scientific data to ensure that research findings are accurate and reliable. Having improvements in data verification and having a reduction of errors can help AI increase the quality of scientific publications and help decrease the number of retractions.

    18. AI is also being utilized in university teaching, with the potential to greatly enhance the learning experience for students and improve educational outcomes. AI algorithms can analyse student data to provide personalized learning experiences and can be used to grade assignments and create intelligent tutoring systems

      AI is being used throughout the university teaching. Professors can use AI to create plans that will help students be more engaged helping them learn at their own pace. AI can be used to see students data and seeing how they learn best. Having AI come up with ways that accommodate to each certain student. Once they have AI grade homework or any assignments. This can help student learn and even using AI as a tutor. Once they get any feedback they can use AI to help create plans and tutors for them.

    19. Cloud Networks: a cloud network is a network of remote servers hosted on the internet that are used to store, process, and manage data. In healthcare, cloud networks can be used to store and access patient data, as well as to run AI and ML algorithms. This provides doctors with secure, remote access to patient information, enabling them to provide better care for their patients.

      This section explains the role of cloud networks in healthcare, showing how they make patient data storage and access more efficient and secure. By allowing providers to run AI and machine learning algorithms on remote servers, doctors can quickly access important information and use it to make better clinical decisions. It also highlights how cloud networks support remote access, meaning physicians can deliver care even outside traditional hospital settings, which improves timeliness and quality of care for patients

    20. AI can increase transparency in healthcare by providing patients with more information about their health and the treatments they are receiving. This can empower patients to make informed decisions about their care and help to build trust between patients and healthcare providers.

      This sentence highlights how AI can strengthen the patient-provider relationship by making healthcare more transparent. When patients have access to their own health information and treatment details, they are not left in the dark and can actively participate in decision-making. This shift not only empowers patients to take more control over their health but also builds trust, since providers are seen as open and collaborative rather than withholding information. It shows AI’s role not just in clinical accuracy, but also in promoting equity and shared decision-making in healthcare.

    1. In other nations and in other times, marriages have been arranged through an intricate process of interviews and negotiations between entire families. In Papua New Guinea, almost 30 percent of women marry before the age of 18, and 8 percent of men have more than one wife (National Statistical Office, 2019).

      question .How do you learn to love some one you were forced to be with who is also allowed to have more than one wife?

    1. Creating a Safe Learning Environment and Modeling: To help students embrace failure, teachers must create a safe classroom environment where exposure and perceived ignorance are not feared.

      this is very important because I used to be scared to ask questions to a certain teacher in fear of being told im wrong and that she couldn't help me. asking questions is an important part of learning and without it you don't learn.

    2. Being resilient and motivated to persist through complex, frustrating, and difficult tasks without giving up. It is the motivation to get the job done correctly and the desire to progress. As a core component of resilience, it includes being optimistic, committed, and connected.

      This is definitely necessary to understanding because without perseverance we would get stuck at some point. perseverance is the only way to thrive in something.

    3. •       Inquisitiveness: An inclination to be curious and a desire to fully understand something, even if the complete answer isn't immediately known. It involves seeking to comprehend tasks, options, and limitations. In science, this is the drive to seek information and spot knowledge gaps.

      I feel like this is totally me. I have a desire to understand and learn things that I don't understand. I seek to know and to find answers which motivates me.

    1. removinganonymity can bring in accountability, since people are less likely tobe abusive if their actual name is attached to the abuse

      I feel like this is so important in the modern age of social media. anonymity allows individuals to be evil online without repercussions.

    1. Susan Goldberg. For Decades, National Geographic's Coverage Was Racist. To Rise Above Our Past, We Must Acknowledge It. National Geographic Magazine, March 2018. URL: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/from-the-editor-race-racism-history (visited on 2023-11-24).

      It is hard to break something that already formed as 'norm' or usual thing in people's mind. The first reason is that people often ignore something they think that is normal or usual, so the true problem could not be seen by the society. Another reason is that people usually don't want to admit their mistakes even they knew they were wrong. Therefore, we need articles like this to drag the entire society's attention, and then could influence the 'rule makers' to change the current situation.

    2. Anna Lauren Hoffmann. Data Violence and How Bad Engineering Choices Can Damage Society. Medium, April 2018. URL: {https://medium.com/@annaeveryday/data-violence-and-how-bad-engineering-choices-can-damage-society-39e44150e1d4} (visited on 2023-11-24).

      Hoffmann's concept of "data violence" resonates strongly with this chapter's discussion of how data practices encode social power. She argues that when engineers treat datasets as neutral, they overlook how design decisions--such as labeling conventions or exclusion of marginalized voices--can reproduce harm. I found this perspective particularly striking after reading the earlier part of chapter 4 on data collection and bias: it reframes technical errors not just as mistakes, but as moral and structural failures. It makes me think that ethical data work requires both tecinical literacy and historical awareness of inequality.

    3. All models are wrong. November 2023. Page Version ID: 1183166756. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All_models_are_wrong&oldid=1183166756 (visited on 2023-11-24).

      If you accept that all models are wrong, then what you must realize is there are terribly wrong models and not-so wrong models. We have to use our judgement to decide what category a model falls under.

    1. The energy is provided by ATP. The sodium-potassium pump also requires carrier proteins. Carrier proteins bind with specific ions or molecules, and in doing so, they change shape. As carrier proteins change shape, they carry the ions or molecules across the membrane. Figure 5.8.2 shows in greater detail how the sodium-potassium pump works and the specific roles played by carrier proteins in this process.

    1. When you undertake your utility calculus, you are, in essence, gathering and responding to data about the projected outcomes of a situation.

      I totally agreed with this idea. Sometimes people only want to hear what they want or come up an outcome that only benefit to them. In this case, people will try to find a reasonable explanation for their planned outcomes, which usually cause biases. The process and the solution are actually up side down in logistical procedure. To avoid this, we have to place our view in third person and sometimes need the peer-review process.

    1. Burning burning burning burning

      The annotation associated with this line references the Buddha’s Fire Sermon, and is where the line itself, and the idea of burning, is drawn from. Within the Fire Sermon, The Blessed One says, “All things are on fire. With the fire of passion, with the fire of hatred, with the fire of infatuation; with birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, misery, grief, and despair are they on fire.” Fire and burning, within the sermon, are associated with feeling and sensation. “All things,” claims Buddha, “are on fire,” meaning all things, which are listed extensively throughout the sermon, are full of sensations and feelings. The passage claims further that “the learned and noble disciple conceives an aversion” for all sensation, and that said disciple must separate themselves, detach themselves, from sensation. Within the context of The Waste Land, the line “Burning, burning, burning, burning” comes at a point where the form of the poem is breaking down, and where references are becoming so intertwined it's difficult to know where you are. In that sense, sensations are everywhere yet nowhere. The sensations of the poem, which are so potent earlier in the section, become mixed up and muddled so that the reader, like the disciples of the Fire Sermon, have an aversion to those very same sensations. The Fire Sermon portion of The Waste Land follows the pattern of The Fire Sermon: attachment to sensation and sensation in everything, transformed into an extreme aversion to sensation. The chapter ends with the word “burning” sitting alone, uncapitalized. The single word ties back to the title, bookending the chapter with the teaching of the Buddha as the poem detaches from sensation.

    2. Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song

      This line immediately stood out to me as adding to the conversation on voice. I wonder if in general the Thames has been referred to with a female identity or with a male identity (I am finding conflicting things online). I am leaning towards a female identity—not only would this follow the pattern thus far of silencing female voices/stories/identities, it also seems to make sense to me in the way that London was founded on the Thames and here has a kind of mother role (like a part of mother nature, almost). Cities were often started around rivers because a river is navigable, and provides a defensive advantage and fresh water.

      The speaker repeats this line three times. If the Thames is thought of as above, the speaker is silencing a primal force of nature, a silencing that far outdoes and at the same time solidifies those prior. It is also to be noted that the silencing taking place here is in direct relation to the rising up/over of the speaker’s voice—there is an apparent trade. The repetition seems to point to some resistance on part of the river. What is also interesting is the part in the third repetition “for I speak not loud.” This is not taken from Prothalamion. So if the speaker were just to speak louder then the river would not need to “run softly”?

      Coming out a bit, it doesn’t make much sense to me that the river Thames runs so loudly. Wouldn’t all the noise be coming from the surrounding city, especially by the time Eliot is writing? So perhaps, then, this line functions as a kind of longing call, to a time prior, a happier time, a time when this would really be the case—when/what Spenser is writing about (fleeting even as he describes it). But this is an impossible reality. Perhaps this extends to the reference to Carpenter’s work—a fruitless reaching to his call for the land’s “own people to come and take possession of it,” and perhaps also to his more general detailing of the river/bodies of water as uniting and foundational in that way. This relates to an idea explored a while back with waste lands being communal lands. Or, alternatively, it is possible that, in the case of silencing the river, this role of the river is being erased completely.

    3. Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.' 'My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart Under my feet. After the event He wept. He promised "a new start."

      Upon reading these two stanzas, it appeared to me that they both might be spoken by the same narrator. Specifically, the same voice appeared to be maintained throughout the stanzas: the same clipped rhythm, and habit of geographically tracing the events of the person's life indicates to me that the lines recounted the events of a particular female individual in TWL. From there, I began to unpack the narrative the speaker was describing. Two moments stood out to me in particular.

      1a) Eliot’s phrase "Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew / Undid me" mimics the lines spoken by the noblewoman La Pia in Dante's Purgatorio, in which she says: "'Siena made me, in Maremma I was undone" (Aligieri, line 134). She attributes her cause of death to her husband, saying “He knows how [I died], the one who, to marry me, / first gave the ring that held his stone’ (Aligieri, lines 135-6). Her “undoing” is the result of marital violence and betrayal, placing her among the many wronged women in The Waste Land—Philomela, Baudelaire’s unnamed sex worker, Ophelia—each undone by male lust, violence, or moral failure. However, in the waste land, the woman is undone not by violence in particular, but by the emotional futility of intimacy in the modern world.

      1b) I discovered a painting by Dante Rossetti entitled “Pia de’Tolomei” while researching more on La Pia. In the painting, La Pia is captured as she fiddles with her wedding ring, surrounded by a lush scenery of ivy overgrowth and a fig tree, as well as a sundial, letters, a prayer book, and the rosary lying beside her. The religious objects no doubt serve as testaments to her devout faith, whereas the sundial likely indicates the passage of time, and perhaps in reference to the time passing during her suffocating and unfulfilling marriage with her husband. The surrounding botany also forms a striking contrast to the barrenness of Eliot’s waste land. As a fruit-bearing tree, the fig tree reflects the physical vigor and health of La Pia, as well as her fertility. By contrast, the ivy—often associated with climbing and clinging—suggests the confinement and isolation of her unhappy marriage.

      2a) The speaker continues the same pattern of geographical mapping in the second stanza. It is here that the reader comes to most certainly understand that the voice belongs to a female speaker. She recalls an unfulfilling sexual encounter, dismissively calling it “the event,” followed by her partner’s promise of “a new start” (Eliot, lines 297–98). However, her partner only weeps afterwards. While La Pia is undone by betrayal and violence, the speaker is undone by the recurring disappointment in sex, and by the emotional sterility of her relationships. In both cases, women appear as passive victims of the shortcomings of intimacy and romantic relationships.

      2b) The reference of “a new start” also echoes the poem’s larger preoccupation with fertility and regeneration, recalling the Fisher King myth. Yet the failure of this promise nods back to the spiritual barrenness of the modern world, in which intimacy is hollow, not sacred.

    1. Choose a poem from the Poetry Foundation’s featured poems and look again at Edward Hirsh’s definition of poem. How does this poem typify his explanation? Are there any ways in which it does not? Write a short response (300 words or less) explaining how you see your selected poem in relation to Hirsch’s definitio

      While reading a poem about thorn bushes, I realized that Hirsch is right, poems are like a sort of virtual reality. Something that you have never experienced first hand feels like a movie scene while being read just due to the language and imagery in the poem

    1. This is the firstdecision from an international human rights bodythat explicitly recognizes that the prohibition andcriminalization of abortion is a human rights vio-lation in and of itself.

      Mellet v. ireland was a milestone where the UN Human Rights Committee declared that banning abortion violates international law. It marks a shift towards viewing abortion not as an exception, but as a core human right.

    2. authorizing access to safe and legalabortion services only on certain grounds under-mines women’s autonomy and decision making byforcing them to carry to term pregnancies againsttheir will

      This critiques the "limited grounds" approach, when abortion is allowed only in cases like rape or health risk. The authors argue that this still denies women full autonomy and treats reproductive freedom as conditional rather than inherent.

    3. In 2006, the Colombian ConstitutionalCourt issued a groundbreaking decision over-turning the criminalization of abortion under allcircumstances and finding that, in order to protectwomen’s human rights, abortion must be permit-ted—at a minimum—when pregnancy poses a riskto the woman’s life or physical or mental health;when it results from rape, incest, or unwanted im-pregnation; or when the fetus has an impairmentincompatible with life. 2

      This case is a turning point that shows how international human rights principles directly influenced national law. It connects global norms to real world policy, showing how human rights language can redefine legal frameworks

    4. formal legal recognition of these rights isonly a first step toward enabling women to accessabortion care; the complex task of fully implement-ing such laws is essential for guaranteeing women’sand girls’ ability to exercise their reproductiverights.

      I agree with this point. It's not enough to just pass a law saying abortion is legal if people still can't get it safely or afford it. I think this shows how human rights don't really mean much unless theyre actually put into action

    5. Theseincreasingly progressive standards have played a critical role in transforming national-level abortionlaws by both influencing domestic high court decisions on abortion and serving as a critical resource inadvancing law and policy reform.

      This shows how international human rights can actually change real laws in different countries. I thinks its interesting how global agreements can pressure local governments to update outdated laws. It makes me realize how connected the world is when it comes to human rights.

    6. Therefore, the court determinedthat all women and girls who become pregnant asa result of rape can access legal abortion services.Furthermore, the court clarified that these womenand girls are not required to provide evidence of therape or to receive judicial authorization before pro-curing an abortion. To this end, the court invokedUN treaty body standards reprimanding Argentinafor failing to guarantee timely access to legal abor-tion services and for the judiciary’s “interference”with such access

      Decision simplifies access to legal abortion for women and girls who became pregnant due to rape by removing the need for proof or judicial approval by relying international rights standards it holds the state accountable for ensuring timely and unimpeded access to abortion service.

    7. They have condemned absolutebans on abortion as being incompatible with inter-national human rights norms and have urged statesto eliminate punitive measures for women and girlswho undergo abortions and for health care provid-ers who deliver abortion services. 10 Moreover, theyhave called on states to decriminalize abortion, ata minimum, when the pregnancy poses a risk tothe woman’s life or health, when the pregnancyresults from rape or incest, and in cases of severefetal abnormality. 11 Furthermore, in the landmarkcase of L.C. v. Peru, the Committee on the Elimi-nation of Discrimination against Women (CEDAWCommittee) explicitly instructed a state party todecriminalize abortion in cases of rape, markingthe first instance in which a human rights body hasexplicitly directed a state to liberalize its abortionlaw as a result of an individual communication

      I agree because it shows that international human rights groups are clear about how harmful absolute abortion bans are. They push laws that protect women's rights and health, especially in serious situation like rape or health risk. The fact that CEDAW has directly told the country to change its law highlights how important these protections are and.Human rights can drive real legal progress.

    8. International and regional human rights normshave also been a key tool in lobbying and influencinglegislatures to liberalize abortion laws and establishpolicies to ensure access to safe and legal abortionservices. For example, in 2010, Spain enacted asexual and reproductive health law authorizingabortion without restriction as to reason. The lawitself indicates that it seeks to bring Spain in linewith the “international consensus” on reproductiverights. It explicitly looks to CEDAW’s recognitionof the unique impact of pregnancy and childbear-ing on women and considers the Convention on theRights of Persons with Disabilities’ reproductiverights protections.53

      It shows how international human rights laws like CEDW really influence countries to help improve our abortion access. Spain's law is a good example of how the following global standards can lead to more freedom and better production for rights for women. Recognizing the special challenges. It also shows how important these agreements are pushing for a positive change.

    1. Annotation has been practiced for thousands of years as a way to improvereading.

      I wonder who came up with the idea of annotating, and how they thought of it.

    2. How might social annotation fit into your course? For what pur-poses might you begin conversations in the margins of the textsyou read with your class?

      Because this is an online class, this can take the place of in classroom discussions between students. On top of students sharing their thoughts with each other, it also allows students to learn from each other.

    3. Community is an important aspect of social annotation. So that youand your peers can learn well together

      This is important because it can give you other people's insight rather than just your own. It can also help you share your insight with others so people can see your insight on something to help themselves as well.

    4. may have had experience annotating in high school.

      I am currently a sophomore in high school, but I also have past experience annotating from last year and even a little bit in my 8th grade year in middle school.

    1. Writers should note that revising, editing, and proofreading are considerably different processes

      This is true because each process focuses on different stages of writing revising improves ideas, editing refines sentences, and proofreading corrects small erros.

By angling the stamp left, right or even upside down it conveys a different meaning.

      I feel like with tv and shows today there are so many shows of different genres chose from. But I do believe that cinema have strayed away from nonfiction.

      This is where I think atmosphere has to play a big part when it comes to watching tv and cinema. When you’re watching tv at home you are more susceptible to distraction or even falling asleep. The comfort if your home is a big contrast compared to a theatre.

      I feel like there is an assumption that people who watch tv are multitasking or distracted while watching. That’s the big difference between cinema. When at a theatre all of your attention is on the movie, causing you to be more immersed in the film.

    4. The difference between TV and Cinema is the repetition that is developed throughout each media. Films being “closed system” is referring to how most films are portrayed. Often being predictable before the movie is over. This is due to the amount of time that the film is. The problem is introduced, characters go through some type of adversity, the climax happens, and then there is closure. With a TV show the problem can be extended through various episodes, adding depth and new doorways for other material to be introduced.

    6. There is no real difference in narrational form between news and soapopera. The distinction is at another level: that of source of mate

      News programs and soap operas have similar structure and effectiveness on their respective viewers. Both programs similarly display ongoing crises that may lead to cliffhangers. The only thing that separates them is how the information is being portrayed. The news is straight forward because it’s informational and soap operas use characters to relay the information.

    1. Thus, when designers of social media systems make decisions about how data will be saved and what constraints will be put on the data, they are making decisions about who will get a better experience. Based on these decisions, some people will fit naturally into the data system, while others will have to put in extra work to make themselves fit, and others will have to modify themselves or misrepresent themselves to fit into the system.

      I found this section particularly thought-provoking because it shows how neutral design decisions can quietly define who belongs in a system. As someone who has filled out many online forms as an international student, I've often experienced exactly what this paragraph describes--forms that assume every user lives in the U.S. or has a "first" and "last" name that fits English conventions. It reminds me that "fitting into the data" isn't just about usability but also about representation and identity. The example of address fields illustrates how technical defaults can privilege one group's reality while making others invisible. It makes me wonder how many times I've unconsciously adapted myself to technology, rather than technology adapting to me.

    1. Art. 12
      Ponto-Chave:

      O Art. 12 NÃO cria uma proteção maior para as APAs. Ele estabelece um critério de licenciamento mais RACIONAL e EFICIENTE para elas, tratando-as como uma exceção à regra geral das Unidades de Conservação (UCs).

      A Lógica em 3 Passos:
      1. A Regra Geral (Para a maioria das UCs): Normalmente, quem licencia uma atividade dentro de uma UC é o mesmo ente federativo que a criou (Ex: ICMBio/União licencia tudo em um Parque Nacional criado pela União).
      2. O Problema das APAs: APAs são enormes, habitadas e com muitas atividades econômicas. Aplicar a "regra geral" nelas seria um caos: o órgão que a criou (ex: IBAMA) teria que licenciar desde uma pequena reforma até um grande projeto, sobrecarregando-o com questões de impacto puramente local.
      3. A Solução do Art. 12: O artigo cancela a "regra geral" para as APAs. Em vez de perguntar "quem criou a APA?", ele manda perguntar: "Qual o tamanho do impacto da atividade?". Com isso, a competência dentro de uma APA segue as regras padrão da LC 140:
        • Impacto Local → Município (Art. 9º)
        • Impacto Regional/Estadual → Estado (Art. 8º)
        • Impacto Nacional/Federal → União (Art. 7º)

      Art. 7º. São ações administrativas da União: - a) localizados ou desenvolvidos conjuntamente no Brasil e em país limítrofe;

      • h) que atendam tipologia estabelecida por ato do Poder Executivo, a partir de proposição da Comissão Tripartite Nacional, assegurada a participação de um membro do Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente (Conama), e considerados os critérios de porte, potencial poluidor e natureza da atividade ou empreendimento;

    1. Solitary, the thrush, The hermit, withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song.

      In the quiet woods, the bird captures the essence of Romanticism. Away from society, it finds its own voice in wild nature. Its lonely song reflects the speaker's deep sadness. Whitman turns the bird into a symbol of grief, showing how nature can share in human emotion.

    2. When lilacs last in the door-yard bloom’d, And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night, I mourn’d—and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring

      In the opening lines, Whitman connects nature with a human emotion, which is an integral charactersitc of romanticism. The lilac, star, and spring season aren't just imagery, but reflections upon the poet's mourning for the death of Abraham Lincoln.

    1. Marco Aurélio concorda que a “democracia ainda não está bem sedimentada” no Brasil. “Num Estado realmente democrático, a decisão judicial, principalmente da Suprema Corte, tem que ser observada de imediato”, opina. “Eu próprio tive situações em que a Câmara deixou de observar liminar. Um exemplo é quando deferi a um jornal a abertura das despesas dos deputados, o que não foi cumprido.” Para o ministro, quando um órgão público deixa de observar uma decisão judicial fica o mau exemplo para o cidadão comum.
    2. A avaliação de juristas é de que o Brasil ainda não concluiu seu ciclo de redemocratização, iniciado na metade dos anos 1980. “Avançamos muito do ponto de vista da maturidade institucional e também em relação ao processo civilizatório, mas é preciso reconhecer que ainda não percorremos todos os ciclos do atraso”, afirma o advogado constitucionalista Luís Roberto Barroso.

    1. What would it take for you to move to the mountains? MountainBlog Annina UZH Tuesday, 28 January 2025 8426 Hits 0 Comments Written by Tamar Kutubidze, Nini Lagvilava, Sonja Lussi & Charlene ZehnderA collaboration between students from Tbilisi State University and the University of Zurich Imagine a serene village nestled in the Swiss Alps, with breathtaking views and quiet streets that seem straight out of a storybook. Now, imagine this village isn't just a fairytale, it is a place willing to pay you to call it home. Welcome to Albinen, a small village in the Valais mountains of Switzerland. Perched 1'300 meters above sea level, Albinen has only 240 residents (SWI swissinfo, 2017). In 2017, facing a bleak future, Albinen took a bold step. The plan? Offer monetary incentives to attract new residents. To qualify, applicants needed to be under 45, commit to staying at least 10 years, and invest 200'000 Swiss Francs in property development (Siebrecht, 2017).Fast forward to seven years later: has the plan worked? Albinen's goal was modest, to attract five families in five years, with the hope of ten families in ten years. By 2022, the initiative looked promising on paper. Albinen approved 17 applications, supported 31 adults and 16 children, and spent CHF 710'000. However, the head of the municipality remains unconvinced (Lynch 2023). Despite the program's success in applications, Albinen's population dropped from 273 to 262 between 2017-2023 (Metry 2024). Infrastructure challenges remain a significant issue, and integration has been slow. A local of Albinen reported that newly arrived residents are rarely seen in the village (Lynch 2023), sparking concerns that they might view Albinen as a second-home destination rather than a permanent community. This leads us to ask: are these newcomers committed to revitalizing Albinen, or are they simply seeking a picturesque retreat? Svaneti, Georgia. (Image source: https://www.caucasus-trekking.com/regions/svaneti) Albinen, Switzerland. (Image source: https://www.borghisvizzera.ch/de/scheda/albinen) Depopulation of mountainous regions isn't unique to Albinen. It's also a challenge in Georgia's Caucasus Mountains, where issues like limited infrastructure, rural economies, and poor connectivity drive people to seek better opportunities in the lowlands (Telbisz, et al., 2020). The Georgian government addresses this by offering financial aid, agricultural subsidies, and housing support in remote areas. In regions like Svaneti and Tusheti, eco-tourism initiatives are combined with efforts to encourage permanent settlement. Mountain regions in both countries, Georgia, and Switzerland, therefore, face similar issues with depopulation. Almost a quarter of the population lives in the Alps, yet many mountain villages are seeing dwindling numbers (Alpenkonvention, 2015). While the approaches differ, both countries share the same goal: revitalization. Albinen's initiative drew international media attention and still receives up to 100 applications daily from Germany, Austria, Croatia, Sri Lanka, Mexico, and Brazil (Hess 2017). The problem: the press omitted key details, giving people from around the world false hope for a better life in Switzerland. Most applications fail to meet the requirements, creating unnecessary work for the municipality (Lynch 2023). While Albinen achieved its target of attracting families, its deeper goal of transforming into a thriving, cohesive community remains elusive.Research suggests that successful revitalization initiatives require more than financial incentives. They need robust infrastructure, opportunities for community engagement, and long-term planning (Telbisz et al., 2020). In Georgia, the stakes are high. Mountain villages are more than homes; they are living monuments to ancient traditions, music, and architecture. Revitalizing these areas could preserve a unique cultural heritage while supporting ecological sustainability. However, achieving this requires a balanced approach that ensures both integration and sustainable development. With the right strategies, Georgia's mountain villages could thrive again as vibrant, self-sustaining communities.So, what would it take for you to move to the mountains? Would breathtaking views and monetary incentives be enough, or does it take something deeper, like a sense of belonging? The examples of Albinen, Svaneti and Tusheti offer no easy solutions but invite us to reflect on what truly makes a place feel like home.

    4. Art. 33

      O locatário tem direito de preferência na compra do imóvel que locatário pretenda vender. Acaso haja preterição, o locatário ainda possui meios para obter a propriedade do bem.

      Para tanto, os requisitos para a constituição de Direito Real a favor do locatário:

      • Requerer, em até 6 (seis) meses, o imóvel para si, contado da data do registro em cartório de imóveis;
      • Depositar o valor do imóvel e demais despesas de transferências;
      • Averbação junto à matrícula do imóvel do contrato de locação, desde que averbado em, no mínimo, 30 (trinta) dias da data da alienação junto à matrícula;

      Observe que a lei estabelece que a averbação do contrato de locação na matrícula do imóvel tem 2 importantes efeitos: - Assegurar que eventual novo locatário observe o prazo de locação, proibindo a denúncia do contrato sem antes decorrer o prazo contratual; - Assegurar a aquisição do imóvel acaso haja preterição do locador quanto ao direito de preferência do locatário.

    5. preferência

      Ordem de preferência na alienação do imóvel locado: - Sublocatário tem preferência ao locatário; - Locatário tem preferência ao terceiro; - Condomínio tem preferência ao locatário.

    1. In reality, Arizona already has large numbers of data centers throughout the state. They collectively use about 1/50th as much water as just the golf courses in Arizona, but generate more tax revenue than the golf industry. Building data centers in the desert has been normal for a while and doesn’t harm water access. Here’s a comparison2 of water usage for data centers and golf courses in the county in Arizona with the most data water draw

      Are golf courses and datacentres in the same place, and the same water basin though?

    2. Ultimately, we conclude that the courts converge on three themes of the duty to warn or protect: hold therapists liable only in obvious cases of negligence that result in harm to a victim; recognize when a state has a permissive statute, rather than an obligatory one; and do not hold therapists liable for violence that occurs well after the termination of therapy (37). We note that these narrow interpretations of therapist liability stand in contrast to earlier rulings that ignored the language of the statutes and interpreted broad liability, such as cases in which therapists were held liable for motor vehicle accidents that occurred months after termination of therapy

    1. apresentará certidões negativas de débitos tributários

      Após aprovação do plano de recuperação judicial, é imprescindível que o devedor apresente certidões negativas de débitos tributários.

    2. implicará a convolação da recuperação judicial em falência

      Tratando-se de consolidação substancial, não se aplica a regra geral de que, rejeitado o plano de recuperação do devedor, os credores poderão apresentar plano alternativo.

      Admitida a consolidação substancial, considera-se que os devedores serão tidos como um único devedor. Não sendo aprovado o plano de recuperação unitário, o juiz convolará a recuperação em falência.

    3. não impede

      Tendo em vista que, na consolidação processual, será assegurado a independência dos devedores, não haverá óbice para que alguns devedores obtenham recuperação judicial e outros tenham a decretação da falência.

      Conforme dispositivo seguinte, na hipótese de haver decisões diversas sobre quem obterá recuperação e que será decretado falido, deverá haver desmembramento do processo.

    4. sob controle societário comum

      Necessariamente deve haver, para consolidação processual, que as empresas interessadas estejam sob controle societário comum.

    5. Rejeitado

      A rejeição do plano de recuperação judicial apresentado pelo devedor não importa, automaticamente e por si só, em convolação em falência.

      Haverá prazo de 30 dias para que seja apresentado novo plano de recuperação pelos credores. A concessão do referido prazo deverá ser aprovado por, no mínimo, mais da metade dos créditos existentes.

    6. não autoriza o administrador judicial a recusar a eficácia da convenção de arbitragem

      Administrador não poderá recusar convenção de arbitragem, ainda que haja deferimento de recuperação judicial ou decretação de falência.

    7. juiz poderá

      Juiz poderá, no contexto da recuperação judicial, conceder tutela de urgência para antecipar parte ou todo efeito do deferimento de processamento de recuperação judicial.

    8. plano alternativo

      Em conformidade com o art. 53, o devedor deverá apresentar plano de recuperação do prazo máximo de <u>60 dias</u>, sob pena de convolação da recuperação em falência.

      Entretanto, apresentado o plano pelo devedor no prazo legal, acaso não haja deliberação dos credores a respeito do plano apresentado, faculta-se a apresentação de plano alternativo por parte desses credores no prazo de 30 dias.

    9. para cada Fazenda Pública credora

      O juiz deverá instaurar um procedimento de classificação de créditos para cada Fazenda Pública credora, individualizando os créditos pertencentes a cada ente público interessado.

    10. momento posterior

      Não há empecilho para que o Fisco apresente, em momento posterior, os demais crédito que, na habilitação, estavam com exigibilidade suspensa, não inscritos em Dívida Ativa ou não constituídos.

    1. De acuerdo con la explicación oficial, lo que se busca es desincentivar la compra de esos billetes para luego realizar operaciones especulativas. En modo indirecto, además, esto reduce también la motivación a la compra de dólares, ya que la estimación es que muchos se inclinaban hacia la divisa debido a la ganancia extra que podían obtener.

      O "mandato duradouro" é uma modalidade de diretiva antecipada de vontade em que se nomeia um procurador para tomar decisões sobre cuidados de saúde. Sua finalidade é justamente garantir que a vontade do mandante seja respeitada em um momento de incapacidade, quando ele não puder mais se expressar. Isso o caracteriza como uma exceção à regra geral de extinção do mandato pela incapacidade superveniente do mandante, pois ele passa a produzir seus principais efeitos exatamente nessa situação.

    2. cláusula proibitiva

      Conquanto possa haver cláusula proibitiva de cessão de crédito, a referida cláusula não poderá ser oposta contra cessionário de boa-fé.

      Isto é, a cessão de crédito efetuada contra disposição contratual, se novo credor não souber do conhecimento da cláusula proibitiva não escrita em instrumento, não poderá impedir que este novo credor exija o valor do devedor, apesar do ilícito contratual.

    1. She was arrested and spent 49 days in jail before being granted bai

      Tamara Lich’s imprisonment highlights how stakeholder power and legitimacy can shift when activism crosses into perceived disruption, challenging governance boundaries between civil liberty and public order. Her case underscores the need for leaders to manage high-salience stakeholders through dialogue and transparency before conflict escalates into legal or ethical crises.

    2. In response to the imposition of a vaccine mandate on cross-border truckers, a large group of truckers from across Canadaconverged on Ottawa to protest the vaccine mandate and, moregenerally, COVID measures. The convoy that started on January22, attracted thousands of people that occupied the downtowncore streets opposite the Parliament buildings. The convoy protestreceived significant media coverage around the world andbecame an important symbol of resistance to COVID measures inCanada and in many other countries.

      This event illustrates how a single stakeholder group, when feeling unheard, can evolve into a powerful collective actor influencing national policy and public perception. It reminds leaders that in stakeholder management, silenced voices don’t disappear; they organize, and effective governance must engage early, transparently, and empathetically to prevent polarization.

    3. Some mainstream media appeared to go out of their way to belittle or shame those opposed to the measures,or to suppress/not report on studies or evidence that contradicted the mainstream narrative. For example,on August 26, 2021, the Toronto Star, one of the major newspapers in Ontario, included the followingcontroversial quote from social media on their front page: “I have no empathy for the wilfully unvaccinated.Let them die.

      This passage reveals how stakeholder influence can lead to bias when power and visibility overshadow ethical responsibility. The media, an essential stakeholder in any governance ecosystem, holds the power to shape narratives and public opinion; however, with that power comes a duty to uphold fairness, empathy, and transparency. When media discourse becomes punitive or moralizing, it silences legitimate concerns and narrows the scope of democratic dialogue. In stakeholder management, a balanced approach recognizes that even dissenting groups deserve representation and respect. Excluding or shaming them undermines both legitimacy and trust: two pillars of ethical governance. From my perspective, governance must never frame disagreement as defiance. Instead, it should protect freedom of choice and expression as part of the stakeholder landscape, ensuring that communication, even when tense, remains grounded in dignity and respect.

    4. The student trustee, Tabarak Al-Delaimi noted that her brother has autism spectrum disorder and is “non-verbal,” and so the way he communicates, makes sense of the world around him and understands histeachers is through their facial expressions and through reading their faces”, and so special needs studentsand educators know that masking is a problem, and thus is a mask exemption in these cases fair? Samson’sresponse was to “turn it around” and simply repeat that because some people cannot wear masks, anybodywho can should wear a mask.

      This passage touched me deeply because it reminds us that behind every policy are individuals with unique needs that can easily be overlooked. In stakeholder management, we often focus on groups with high power or urgency; however, this scenario reminds us that legitimacy and vulnerability also demand attention. Students with special needs are stakeholders whose voices are seldom heard directly; yet, the consequences of decisions profoundly affect them. Mitchell et al.’s salience theory encourages managers and leaders to evaluate who matters, and this must include those who may lack voice but not value. In governance, sensitivity toward small or marginalized groups is not an act of charity; it’s a matter of justice and ethical accountability. When decisions involve health, accessibility, or education, equity necessitates more nuanced solutions than one-size-fits-all approaches. Effective governance notices the quiet stakeholders, those whose well-being depends on thoughtful exemptions, flexibility, and empathy.

    5. I really do not want to start evicting people from this meeting but if you insist on causing a ruckusI will have to. Please keep you voices down while people are speaking.”

      Reading this moment, I felt both the weight and vulnerability of leadership. When emotions take over reason, leaders must carry not only the decision but also the temperature of the room. Chair Evans’s calm firmness demonstrates how emotional intelligence can become a governance tool. It’s not about silencing opposition but protecting the integrity of the process. In any stakeholder environment, whether a public board or a community meeting, trust grows when leaders manage disagreement with empathy and restraint. I’ve seen how a composed tone, a deep breath, or even a respectful pause can shift an entire discussion. In crisis moments, the most effective authority is not control; it’s a steady presence.

    6. The key trustees in favour of the mask mandates were Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth, Lyra Evans (the Chair) andJustine Bell. The opposition was led by trustees Donna Blackburn and Lynn Scott, and student trusteesTabarak Al-Delaimi and Antong Hou

      From experience, I’ve learned that the goal of governance isn’t perfect agreement; it is a shared understanding. When people feel their perspective has been heard, they become more open to compromise. Even during polarized moments, creating structured space for every stakeholder builds trust that lasts long after the vote is done.

    7. Both student trustees voted against the motion(their votes do not count).

      This small detail says a great deal about inclusion. Student voices were heard but not counted. In stakeholder terms, they had legitimacy but no power. I’ve seen similar imbalances, with younger or less experienced members being invited for diversity optics rather than genuine influence. Meaningful participation means ensuring that every voice has weight in shaping outcomes, not just being present in the room.

    8. he meeting restarted without the audience, as the audience was escorted out of the room under a policepresence

      When governance collapses into shouting, it’s a sign that the process has lost legitimacy. I recall that, in our school’s committee, before reaching a consensus on the mask policy, we first agreed on the rules of discussion: respect, turn-taking, and focusing on shared goals (protecting students). Once stakeholders feel respected, they are more likely to listen. It’s never just about the decision; it’s about how it is made.

    9. Many members of the audience were skeptical of the arguments made by these delegations. The claim ofno harm was in contradiction to the lived experience described by the parents—as such, these parents feltgaslighted by the “experts.”

      This passage captures a deep clash of epistemic worlds: lived experience versus data. As someone who worked on decisions where evidence confronted beliefs, I’ve learned that truth doesn’t speak for itself; it must be translated. Stakeholder management here means listening with empathy, not superiority. It’s not about who is right, but about how to rebuild trust across different forms of “knowing.”

    10. While the lockdown measuresthat were announced on March 17, 2020 in Ontario were marketed as intended to last for only a few weeks,most of the measures remained in place for more than 10 weeks.

      Promises that stretch beyond their limits create long-term distrust. In any governance structure, whether a school, a regulatory body, or a government, credibility is fragile. Once people feel deceived, they stop listening, even when the science is solid. In stakeholder terms, legitimacy erodes faster than it can be rebuilt. I’ve seen how transparency, even about uncertainty, is the only way to maintain engagement in times of crisis.

    11. The wearing or the refraining fromwearing of masks was an indicator of how the Trustees were going to vote on the Motion.

      It's striking how a simple public health tool turned into a symbol of identity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I observed the same polarization within my kids' Catholic French school committee in Lebanon. Masks weren't just medical; they represented belief, trust, and even belonging. In moments like this, stakeholder management becomes emotional negotiation. It is crucial to understand that each position is rooted in fairness, religious beliefs, and personal values. I learned that leadership in polarized spaces isn't about convincing; it's about creating space for dialogue without judgment.

    1. h training step: LoRA training curves for various ranks on T

      high-rank LoRA and FullFT have identical curves. Medium/low rank fall off when they hit capacity limits. This is the visual proof of the main claim.

    2. We investigated the effects of applying LoRA to different layers in the network. The original paper by Hu et al. recommended applying LoRA only to the attention matrices, and many subsequent papers followed suit, though a recent trend has been to apply it to all layers.Similar to our results, the QLoRA paper also found that LoRA performed worse than MLP or MLP+attention, though they found that MLP+attention > MLP > attention, whereas we found the first two to be roughly equal. Indeed, we achieved far better results when applying LoRA to all layers, in particular, the MLP (including MoE) layers. In fact, applying LoRA to the attention matrices shows no additional benefits beyond applying it to the MLPs only.

      contradicts common practice of attention-only LoRA!

    3. We find that the optimal learning rate for FullFT is lower by a factor of 10 than for high-rank LoRAs.See Biderman et al. (2024), Figure S1, for an experiment with sampling evals, which finds a similar 10x ratio. We’ll return to this in our discussion of LoRA hyperparameters later on. The optimal LR seems to be similar for all the LoRA runs across different ranks; we give a theoretical explanation for this finding below. However, there does seem to be some rank dependence, with lower optimal LR for rank=1 than for higher-rank LoRAs. The optimal LR changes by a factor of less than 2 between rank=4 and rank=512.

      Key practical finding, multiply by 10 when switching, at least until a better method is identified...
