Globalization and Localization Association (GALA)’s Post

If the results in this paper hold/take off and the trade-offs are acceptable to people (which they seem reasonable to me) this could be game changing in networks for AI training and thus a big chunk of the total cost. Great paper Ying Zhang!

End confusion about the Science of Reading (SOR) and how to apply its principles to instruction in your adult education program by joining LINCS moderators Dr. Carmine Stewart, Steve Schmidt, and Dr. Kathy Tracey as they unpack the SOR and provide information on LINCS resources that will help elevate your reading instruction.

Nice to see some of my academic work forming part of this presentation:)

Weak signals & design fiction workshop about to start at the Service Design Global Conference. This pile of stuff will turn into artefacts from the future in no time. #weaksignals #designfiction #sdgc24

Delighted that the publication of our chapter, "Actor-Network Theory as a Theory of Space," in the Handbook of Qualitative and Visual Methods in Spatial Research coincides perfectly with the start of the #4SEASST2024 conference in Amsterdam! In this chapter, Ignacio Farías and I explore the multifaceted trajectory of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and its productive applications as a theory of space. There are three main lessons to be learned: 1) Interconnectedness of Actors: ANT reveals the intricate networks of human and non-human actors that shape our spatial environments. By understanding these connections, we gain insights into the complexities of spatial dynamics. 2) Space as a Hybrid: ANT frames space not just as a physical entity but as a hybrid construct of social, technical, and material elements. This perspective allows us to see how diverse factors converge to form spatial realities. 3) Constructing Worlds: ANT shows that spaces are not pre-existing but are continuously constructed through interactions. This view emphasizes the fluidity and multiplicity of spaces, encouraging us to consider the ongoing processes that create and transform them. ANT offers a unique lens to understand how spaces are both hybrids and worlds, constantly shaped by the interplay of various actors and forces.

why should you care about category theory? because it allows you to reason about systems by drawing diagrams, such that if you obey the drawing rules, your system diagrams will be correct. Anyway, finally, something from the conference worth reading if you sometimes pick up a popular science book. And very good it is too. This is Gemini 1.5 Pro’s summary of the conference , based on the sixty papers I gave it. It has pitched it at a non specialist crowd , and I think, successfully hit the right level of easy reading. it also picks up on the right things from the conference, based upon what I learnt when I was there. the first couple of pages are new and worth reading. I’ve attached a couple more sections with an easy to read table of key takeaways per topic, which I only shared as a picture on Monday. interspersed with my normal stuff , I will present some project- relevant content from the conference over the next few days, written by myself. where i will explain the relevance to projects. Project prompt: ”brilliant. now could you write the Nature article, based upon your reading, and your interm results above, for a Nature readership, who are experts in their fields but are not deeply familiar with Category theory”

After a year of data collection and analysis, I’m excited to announce that the first draft of the Simulation Technology, Educational Principles, and Safety (STEPS) competency framework is now live on our website! This framework focuses on the foundational education undergraduate students need to graduate with the knowledge required to work in the field of healthcare simulation. Check out my recent STEPS blog to explore the full journey 💡 ✍ :

📃Scientific paper: On the Verification of Parametric Systems Abstract: We present an approach to the verification of systems for whose description some elements - constants or functions - are underspecified and can be regarded as parameters, and, in particular, describe a method for automatically generating constraints on such parameters under which certain safety conditions are guaranteed to hold. We present an implementation and illustrate its use on several examples. ;Comment: 26 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1910.05208 Continued on ES/IODE ➡️ https://etcse.fr/a4I ------- If you find this interesting, feel free to follow, comment and share.

Interesting read in yesterday's scholarly kitchen https://lnkd.in/eHrbqi2d - we are pleased to see pushback on the 'transitional' agreements that have not brought about real change, and the APC system that underpins them. The Jisc report underpinning the article reports savings to libraries of £42m through TA agreements, but this is when measured against conventional subscriptions and APCs. We wonder instead what a comparison would look like between TAs, and what could have been enabled by funding diamond schemes and infrastructure instead.
