Debugging is the process of finding and reducing bugs in software and hardware. A debugger like GDB is a program used to debug other programs by allowing the programmer to stop execution at any point and examine variable values. Debug symbols embedded in binaries or separate files provide information mapping machine code to programming language constructs to aid debugging. GDB allows setting breakpoints to pause execution, examining memory and registers, and modifying variables and function calls to test programs.

Bilateral trade between Ireland and China reached €5.7 billion in 2014, with Irish food exports to China increasing 40% to €520 million since 2010. The agri-food and drink sector accounts for 7.2% of Ireland's economy, 12.3% of exports, and 8.8% of total employment, demonstrating China's importance as a trade partner as relations between the two countries have expanded rapidly over the past decade.
The document summarizes key economic and demographic statistics about Indonesia, including that it has had the most stable economy in the last 5 years according to The Economist. It notes that Indonesia has the 4th largest population in the world and is predicted to become the 7th largest global economy by 2030. Bilateral trade between Indonesia and Ireland was US$171.8 million in 2013.
The document discusses Asia's growing economic importance and provides recommendations to strengthen Ireland's engagement with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It notes that Asia will account for 52% of global GDP by 2050. To drive Irish business in Asia, it recommends that Ireland bridge competitive gaps, allocate an education attaché to Jakarta, open an embassy in Manila, encourage ASEAN embassies in Dublin, update its Asia strategy, and appoint a minister for Ireland-Asia relations.
Ireland's food and drink exports to Asia totaled €883 million in 2014, with milk being the largest agricultural export at €444 million. The abolition of EU milk quotas in 2015 allows Ireland to increase milk production to meet growing demand in new markets like Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, where exports are expected to rise significantly by 2020.

"How Future Dairy Expansion Will Benefit Ireland" Cormac HealyAsia Matters
The document discusses how future expansion of Ireland's dairy industry will benefit the country. It is projected that milk output will grow 50% by 2020 due to the end of EU milk quotas. This will lead to €2 billion in additional export earnings and the creation of 15,000 new jobs. The dairy industry plans to invest €2 billion on farms and over €700 million in processing facilities. Exports to Asia, especially China and Southeast Asia, are seen as critically important to support the dairy expansion goals. Trade negotiations will be key to maintaining the competitiveness of Irish dairy exports.

“Managing Global Talent in the Digital Age” Ryan ShanksAsia Matters
This document summarizes a presentation given by Ryan Shanks of Accenture Strategy on managing global talent in the digital age. Some key points:
- Accenture has over 346,000 employees globally, with about 1,700 in Ireland and 57% based in Asia. Digital technology is automating many jobs and changing workforce expectations.
- To manage talent, companies must target and attract high-performing talent, identify skills needed in the digital age, and develop talent through collaboration and online learning.
- Accenture uses tools like its Career Marketplace to help identify skills, connect employees to opportunities, and support ongoing learning and development. Global business strategies now require a global "talent strategy"

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Recognising that research funding is frequently becoming more constrained in terms of support to attend conferences, BDIC would look to support attendance at a conference in China that is a direct fit with the period they are scheduled to be delivering module content in Beijing. Such support would be contingent on (a) the conference being of reasonable International significance and value in terms of publication recognition, (b) a paper being delivered and contained within the proceedings however configured and (c) both BDIC and UCD affiliations (in that order?) being recorded on the paper, abstract, registration and presentation.
