The document provides information on different types of internet search tools including search engines, meta-search engines, and subject directories. It discusses how search engines use computer programs to match keywords to web pages while subject directories are developed and maintained by humans to organize websites into categories. The document also outlines various internet search methods such as keyword searches, field searches, Boolean logic, and miscellaneous methods including different language and spell check features.
The formula used to calculate the total price per order is:
=Quantity * Price
This multiplies the quantity ordered by the price per item to get the total price for that item. Formatting the control property as currency formats the result of the calculation to display as a dollar amount.
Hiding the repeated Customer label and name field in the subform cleans up the appearance and focuses the user on the relevant order details rather than redundant customer information. The subform header is also hidden since it is unnecessary in this case.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
A database report is used to organize, group, and summarize data from one or more database tables or queries. Reports allow data to be presented attractively with custom formatting and graphics. They offer advantages like grouping data from multiple tables, performing calculations, and adding headers while allowing the report to be saved, updated, and printed in different orientations. Reports contain sections like page headers, group headers, report headers, details, group footers, and page footers to display things like column headings, grouped data fields, titles, summarized data, and page numbers.
The document discusses database queries, forms, and reports used in business. It explains how a query relates four tables to find out which products were ordered by each customer. The query uses fields from the Orders, Purchase Orders, and Grocery Products tables. A relationship between common fields is required for a subform to communicate with the main form. The query results are then displayed on a Customers form that uses a subform to show order details for each store.
This document discusses database queries, which extract information from one or more tables using filters and selection criteria. Queries can be saved and reused, unlike filters which are one-time tools. The document outlines comparison operators like equal to, less than, and greater than that are used to build queries, as well as conditional operators like AND and OR. Forms and reports are also mentioned as other database objects that can be created using tables.
Forms are database objects used for data entry and retrieval. They provide a user-friendly interface that can include menus, instructions, and graphics. Forms are commonly used for tasks like online reservations, entering contact information, and electronic card catalogs. They allow for faster searching and data entry while making information easy to read and understand, and allow censoring of certain data fields. Common elements of forms include graphics, data from database records, calculations, controls to define data use, descriptive text, and subforms embedded in the main form.
The document discusses database tables, which are the fundamental building blocks of databases. It defines key concepts like records, fields, and entries. A record contains all the data fields for one item, like a customer. A field is a single piece of data like a name. An entry is the actual data in a field, like "John Doe". The document provides examples of database tables and their structure, with rows representing records and columns representing fields.
- Database tables can be linked together through relationships that connect common fields, called primary keys, between tables. This allows data to be stored separately but managed and retrieved collectively.
- A relationship links data between individual tables and increases the usefulness of a database. A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table and is used to link tables together through relationships.
- Junction tables are used to join primary keys from multiple tables and allow those tables to share information through a many-to-many relationship.
Data types and field properties format data in database tables. Data types define the type of data in a field, such as number or text. Field properties define how the data is formatted, like limiting text fields to a certain number of characters. Setting the proper data types and field properties allows data to be sorted, searched, and used in calculations correctly. Common data types include text, number, date/time, and currency. Field properties include field size, format, and input masks to control how data is entered.
This document discusses six common types of charts used in business: column chart, stacked bar chart, line chart, XY scatter plot, pie chart, and exploded pie chart. It defines each chart and provides examples to illustrate the type of data each chart is best suited to display. The column chart compares groups of data. The stacked bar chart shows the contribution of parts to a whole. The line chart indicates trends over time. The XY scatter plot shows correlations between two variables. The pie chart displays the percentage of parts in a whole. The exploded pie chart emphasizes portions of a pie chart.
This document discusses copyright law and fair use guidelines for educators. It provides examples of common copyright scenarios teachers may encounter and analyzes whether each scenario constitutes a copyright violation. The key points are:
- Copyright law is intended to protect the rights of creators while also allowing limited use of copyrighted works under the fair use doctrine for purposes like education.
- Fair use analysis considers the purpose and character of the use, nature of the work, amount used, and effect on the market. Non-profit educational use and small portions are more likely to be considered fair use.
- Using copyrighted images, text, music or videos without permission in presentations, publications or online is generally a violation unless it meets fair use thresholds. Permission

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

III. Which charts are used commonly in business and why?
IV. How is the type of chart determined?
V. Charts and Graphs used in Business
A. Purpose of charts and graphs
1. Charts and graphs are used in business to communicate and clarify
spreadsheet information
2. A graph is a pictorial representation of data. It includes the plot area,
gridlines, and values. A graph is used in a chart. A chart is an
enhancement of a graph that includes labels, legend information, titles,
and color and adds meaning to the graph.
3. Whereas spreadsheet data is often filled with numbers, labels, and values
that require time consuming analysis, a chart emphasizes and
categorizes the spreadsheet information into a format that can be quickly
and easily analyzed.
4. A chart is to a spreadsheet as a picture is to a thousand words
B. Examples of charts used in business
1. Represent sales trends within different departments of a store
2. Represent the contribution of individual employee sales to the total sales
for a company
3. Represent the percent of each expense to total expenses
4. Analyze stock prices and explain the fluctuations to stakeholders
VI. Components of Graphs and Charts
A. Graph
1. The y-axis is the left vertical side of the graph. It contains the numerical
data.
2. The x-axis is the bottom horizontal side of the graph. It contains the
category information.
3. Data markers are used in a graph to indicate data values.
4. A data series is a collection of related values, such as one row or column
from a spreadsheet.
5. A gridline is a horizontal or vertical line that extends across the plot area
of the graph for the purpose of adding clarification to the data.
6. The plot area is the background portion of a graph. It is the area bound
by the values (y) and categories (x) axes.
7. A tick mark is used in a graph to clarify data categories or values.
B. Chart
1. A legend is an object that explains the symbols, colors, or patterns used
to differentiate the data.

2. 4.02 Student Notes
Understand charts and graphs used in business.
2. A data label is a single value or text explanation used to explain the data
in a series.
3. A chart title is the main heading, which describes the purpose and
content.
4. The x-axis title describes the horizontal data.
5. The y-axis title describes the vertical data.
C. Embedded and linked
1. An embedded chart is one that appears on the same sheet as the
spreadsheet it represents; otherwise, it is referred to as a separate chart.
2. A linked chart is one that will reflect changes made to the spreadsheet it
represents.
VII. Common Charts Used in Business
A. A column chart is used to make comparisons and generalizations about groups
of data, such as to compare the number of students from each class
(Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) to their attendance at assemblies.
B. A stacked bar chart is used to represent the sum of more than one value and
compare the contribution of individuals to the whole, such as the total sales for
three components to the whole sales for a store.
C. A line chart is used to show trends or changes in data over time, such as growth
in sales over several quarters.
D. An XY scatter chart is used to show the correlation of two or more data sets,
such as the correlation between stress rates and wait time in a doctor’s office.
E. A pie chart is used to represent the contribution of each component of one
series of data to the whole, such as the percentage of expenditures to the total
budget.
F. An exploded pie chart is a pie chart in which the individual components are
enhanced.

In this example, the category information (January-March) is represented on the x axis and
sales are represented on the y axis. This chart clearly emphasizes the sales trends over the
three-month period. The regional manager can use this information to learn more about each
employee as well as to analyze the market. Notice how the March sales declined for three
sales reps and rose for two. He might ask the top sales rep to share pointers with the other
reps. He also may decide to reassign the reps to determine if the trends are due to the
economic status of the companies or the marketing abilities of the reps.
