Exhibiting the Past
With respect to public issues, history matters. With the worldwide interest for historical issues related with gender, religion, race, nation, and identity, public history is becoming the strongest branch of academic history. This volume brings together the contributions from historians of education about their engagement with public history, ranging from musealisation and alternative ways of exhibiting to new ways of storytelling
Green Carbon Footprint for Model Inference Serving via Exploiting Mixed-Quality Models and GPU Partitioning
This paper presents a solution to the challenge of mitigating carbon
emissions from large-scale high performance computing (HPC) systems and
datacenters that host machine learning (ML) inference services. ML inference is
critical to modern technology products, but it is also a significant
contributor to datacenter compute cycles and carbon emissions. We introduce
Clover, a carbon-friendly ML inference service runtime system that balances
performance, accuracy, and carbon emissions through mixed-quality models and
GPU resource partitioning. Our experimental results demonstrate that Clover is
effective in substantially reducing carbon emissions while maintaining high
accuracy and meeting service level agreement (SLA) targets. Therefore, it is a
promising solution toward achieving carbon neutrality in HPC systems and
datacenters
Transformando la educación a través del conocimiento
La educación es uno de los motores de transformación social más poderoso que existen y ejerce como instrumento de cohesión social, igualando las diferencias de género, etnia, situación económica, etc. La investigación educativa es, pues, una actividad estratégica: las mejoras en educación repercuten en el conjunto de la sociedad. Es en este contexto donde se sitúa el presente volumen, titulado Transformando la educación a través del conocimiento. Esta obra recoge un total de 127 capítulos con experiencias de investigación teórica y aplicación práctica sobre experiencias concretas de innovación docente. Las contribuciones, centradas en áreas educativas diversas (educación lingüística, artística, en ciencias sociales y ambientales, etc.) y de diferentes niveles educativos (tanto de los preuniversitarios, como de educación superior), tienen en común que ofrecen una mirada renovada sobre los retos que debe enfrentar la educación actual: la inclusión educativa, la integración de las TIC en la educación, la transición entre diferentes niveles educativos, la igualdad de género o la educación emocional son, entre muchos otros, algunos de los temas abordados. El presente volumen, pues, quiere contribuir a la difusión de las algunas de las aportaciones más recientes que contribuyen al progreso del conocimiento sobre los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la sociedad actual
History of Construction Cultures Volume 1
History of Construction Cultures Volume 1 contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History, held at the Lisbon School of Architecture, Portugal, from 12 to 16 July, 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL), NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis, following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines, tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political, social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore, papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics, historical periods and different regions of the globe, opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world
Metropolitan Research
Metropolitan research requires multidisciplinary perspectives in order to do justice to the complexities of metropolitan regions. This volume provides a scholarly and accessible overview of key methods and approaches in metropolitan research from a uniquely broad range of disciplines including architectural history, art history, heritage conservation, literary and cultural studies, spatial planning and planning theory, geoinformatics, urban sociology, economic geography, operations research, technology studies, transport planning, aquatic ecosystems research and urban epidemiology. It is this scope of disciplinary - and increasingly also interdisciplinary - approaches that allows metropolitan research to address recent societal challenges of urban life, such as mobility, health, diversity or sustainability

The Proceedings of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research (DGO2022) Intelligent Technologies, Governments and Citizens June 15-17, 2022
The 23rd Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research theme is “Intelligent Technologies, Governments and Citizens”. Data and computational algorithms make systems smarter, but should result in smarter government and citizens. Intelligence and smartness affect all kinds of public values - such as fairness, inclusion, equity, transparency, privacy, security, trust, etc., and is not well-understood. These technologies provide immense opportunities and should be used in the light of public values. Society and technology co-evolve and we are looking for new ways to balance between them. Specifically, the conference aims to advance research and practice in this field.
The keynotes, presentations, posters and workshops show that the conference theme is very well-chosen and more actual than ever. The challenges posed by new technology have underscored the need to grasp the potential. Digital government brings into focus the realization of public values to improve our society at all levels of government. The conference again shows the importance of the digital government society, which brings together scholars in this field. Dg.o 2022 is fully online and enables to connect to scholars and practitioners around the globe and facilitate global conversations and exchanges via the use of digital technologies. This conference is primarily a live conference for full engagement, keynotes, presentations of research papers, workshops, panels and posters and provides engaging exchange throughout the entire duration of the conference
