Monkeys have several structural, behavioral, and functional adaptations that help them survive in their jungle habitat. Their long tails are a structural adaptation that allows them to stabilize themselves and act as an anchor when scaling high trees. The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant with behavioral adaptations, closing its flowers when hair-like senses detect bugs and strangling and swallowing them as a way to easily obtain food from unsuspecting prey. Adaptations increase organisms' chances of survival in their environments.

Raccoon project 2011
Raccoons have claws on their hind feet for climbing trees and moving nimbly, they have an unusual diet of crayfish, mice, insects and garbage, and weigh between 3.5 to 9 kg, making them a medium-sized and intelligent mammal able to solve problems like opening latches and jars.
Giant panda
The document discusses several anatomical adaptations that allow giant pandas to eat bamboo as their primary food source, including a sixth digit ("thumb") to help grasp bamboo, very strong jaws and esophagus lining to chew and digest the tough plant, and physical traits like plantigrade feet and a small body mass that help pandas climb and cling to bamboo-bearing trees.
Diseases case studies
The document summarizes information about malaria and bipolar disorder. Malaria is caused by a parasite transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. Symptoms include fevers, chills, and fatigue. Treatment involves drugs like chloroquine or combinations of quinine and antibiotics. Prevention methods consist of antimalarial drugs, insect repellent, and mosquito nets. Bipolar disorder has unknown causes but genetic and chemical factors. Symptoms vary between periods of mania and depression. Treatment focuses on lithium to control mood swings along with hospitalization during depressive episodes. Neither disease can be prevented, but their symptoms can be managed.
Infectious and non infectious diseases
Yasmine Biady presented on ringworm and diabetes. Ringworm symptoms can include itchy, irritated skin and rashes. It commonly affects young children and incidence is estimated around 3-5% of populations in some countries. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin and has genetic and environmental causes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin properly and can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices. Resources on ringworm and diabetes were also provided.
Diseases case studies
Influenza is caused by a virus that infects cells and often mutates, so immunity to one strain does not protect against others. It is transmitted through direct contact, contaminated objects, or inhaled aerosols. Symptoms include fever, body aches, headache, and cough. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and there are now three licensed antiviral treatments in the UK. Prevention includes an annual flu vaccine tailored to the strains expected to cause epidemics that year. Anorexia nervosa has unclear causes but links to anxiety, unhappiness, and low self-esteem. Symptoms include extreme weight loss and medical complications. Treatment involves hospitalization for refeeding and behavioral therapy to address emotional issues.
1. diseases case studies
The document discusses chickenpox and Down's syndrome. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and spreads through saliva or mucus. It causes a red, itchy rash and symptoms include fever, headache and sore throat. Treatment involves antiviral medication or creams to reduce itchiness. Prevention includes vaccination which is highly effective. Down's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a third copy of chromosome 21, leading to distinctive physical features. It cannot be prevented but conditions can be treated through surgery or medication.
Infectious and Non Infectious Diseases
Whooping cough is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, and sometimes through contact with clothes or toys. Early symptoms resemble a common cold with sneezing, runny nose, and slight fever. Later, uncontrolled bouts of coughing occur with a characteristic "whooping" sound between coughs. Treatment involves antibiotics like azithromycin or erythromycin for 5-7 days. Other supportive treatments include steam inhalation, paracetamol, fluids, and rest. Vaccinations against whooping cough are recommended for babies and children through the DTaP vaccine.
Disease case study- Francesca Reid
The document discusses influenza (flu) and its characteristics. It describes how the flu virus mutates annually to evade immunity, but every 30 years or so a major "shift" occurs that causes a pandemic. Symptoms of the flu include fever, aches, cough and tiredness. The best prevention is an annual flu vaccine, as the virus changes each year. Type 1 diabetes is also summarized, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Its treatment requires insulin injections and managing diet and activity levels. While there is no cure for either condition, vaccination and healthy habits can help prevent their spread.

Symptoms include tiredness, fever and rash appearing as red spots developing into blisters. Home treatment with rest, fever medication and oatmeal baths is usually sufficient. Vaccination can prevent chickenpox. Chickenpox is most common in children under 12, in early spring/late winter worldwide.
Non infectious and infectious diseases case study-Nidhi kontham
This document discusses and compares skin cancer and malaria. It outlines the symptoms of each disease, which include unusual spots on the skin for skin cancer and high fever, chills, and muscle pain for malaria. It also discusses prevention methods for both diseases, such as wearing sunscreen and protective clothing to prevent skin cancer and taking preventative medicines to prevent malaria. The document notes that malaria occurs most commonly in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and some parts of Europe and the Middle East.
Infectious and non infectious diseases
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting and muscle pain. If not treated, malaria can become life-threatening by disrupting red blood cells. Effective treatment involves prompt use of artemisinin-based therapies. Prevention focuses on insecticide-treated nets, indoor spraying and repellents. Malaria occurs in over 100 countries in tropical and subtropical regions, especially affecting pregnant women, infants and those with HIV/AIDS.

Case study
The Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial in Australia. It evolved adaptations like different types of milk production and hopping to survive in arid environments as Australia's climate changed. The introduction of livestock and agriculture by Europeans further increased the Red Kangaroo's habitat and food sources, causing its population to grow. Its red fur color also provides camouflage in the red Australian soil, demonstrating natural selection pressures. Overall, the environmental changes led to macroevolutionary changes in the Red Kangaroo over a long period of time.
Ddt and mosquitoes
Mosquitoes like Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi were targeted with DDT to reduce malaria. Initially DDT killed mosquitoes but they eventually evolved resistance and their populations recovered. The use of DDT also harmed other animals through bioaccumulation, though it was thought to not harm humans. This environmental change put selective pressure on mosquitoes that developed resistance, causing micro-evolution within the species.
Micro organisms
Micro-organisms are tiny one-celled organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi that are found everywhere in the world, both on and inside living things. They outnumber the cells that make up the human body. Micro-organisms provide benefits like helping to fight other microbes through antibiotics and vaccines, purifying waste water, and producing nitrogen for agriculture. However, they can also have harmful effects like triggering infections and allergies if they grow in homes or workplaces, causing odors on clothing and footwear, and contaminating food and water leading to food poisoning.
Micro-organisms
Micro-organisms can have both beneficial and harmful effects. Beneficially, they neutralize viruses, produce medicines, help decompose waste, and make nutrients and products like bread and cheese. However, some micro-organisms can also make people and plants sick by producing toxins or contaminating food, or by outcompeting beneficial microbes. Micro-organisms play an important role in health, decomposition, and food production, but maintaining balance is key to avoiding illness.
Beneficial and harmful effect of microorganisms Sarah
This document discusses the beneficial and harmful effects of microorganisms. Microorganisms are beneficial as they recycle through decomposition, decompose other organisms and waste, and are used to produce food products like yogurt and cheese as well as industrial materials like leather. However, microorganisms can also be harmful as some cause diseases in humans, animals and plants, act as carriers of diseases, spread viruses, and can spoil food.
Plant and animal adaptations
This document discusses adaptations in animals and plants. It defines adaptations as characteristics that improve an organism's chances of survival in its environment. There are three main types of adaptations: structural relating to shape and size, behavioral relating to how an organism acts, and functional relating to chemical processes. The giraffe's long neck is a structural adaptation that allows it to reach tall trees for food. The waratah plant has thick waxy leaves as a structural adaptation to help it cope with dry conditions and attract pollinators.
Adaptations
The document describes two species' adaptations: the white-bellied sea eagle's hooked bill, dark legs, and taloned feet help it catch slippery fish and other aquatic animals as prey. Eucalyptus trees have thick, waxy leaves that reduce water loss, allowing the trees to survive in dry areas with little water by retaining moisture so they can live and grow.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
