Carl-Gustaf Stawstrom, Swedish Association of Independent Schools
This document summarizes the independent school system in Sweden. It notes that since 1992, school choice has increased and now approximately 15% of compulsory schools and 47% of upper secondary schools are independent. The Swedish Association of Independent Schools represents about 900 independent schools. Legislation passed in 2010 established a common regulatory framework for both public and independent schools to ensure equal quality and conditions. Independent schools require approval, must be open to all students, and teach the national curriculum, but can have special profiles like Waldorf or religious schools. They are financed through municipal vouchers on a per-student basis like public schools and regulated by the Swedish Schools Inspectorate.

20091127 Fr Middle East Group 2 4+5
- Turkey controls the two major rivers in the Middle East, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, through dams and water infrastructure projects. This gives Turkey influence over downstream countries Iraq and Syria which rely on water from these rivers.
- Iraq and Syria are dependent on Turkey for water as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers originate in eastern Turkey and 70% of the water flows through Turkey before reaching the other countries.
- Disputes over water access and flow have caused conflicts between the three countries as Turkey can regulate and reduce the water flow to Iraq and Syria through its control of the dams and infrastructure.
20091127 Fr Groundwater Group 4 4+5
1) Groundwater is water located underground that is an essential natural resource for humanity.
2) It is replenished by precipitation infiltrating the ground and collects in aquifers, which are permeable underground layers of rock or sediment.
3) Groundwater management is important to prevent overexploitation of aquifers and pollution of this critical resource, as some aquifers have already been exhausted from overuse.
20091127 Fr Everyday Life And Its Cycle Group 5 1+2
Water moves through a natural cycle, changing states between liquid, solid, and gas. It evaporates from bodies of water, condenses into clouds, and falls as precipitation. Most water is then absorbed by plants or flows into rivers and lakes before evaporating again. Water is also treated and distributed for everyday human uses. It is pumped from underground sources through pipe networks and reservoirs before reaching homes and businesses. Agriculture accounts for about 70% of water consumption globally, while industry uses around 22% and domestic use about 8%. However, consumption varies significantly between wealthy and poor countries. Access to clean drinking water remains a challenge in some parts of the world.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
