The document summarizes the results of an Economic Recovery Index survey conducted in Ireland from April 2009 to November 2011. The November 2011 survey found a sharp deterioration in perceptions of the economic situation, with 57% saying it was bad and getting worse. The Economic Recovery Index fell to its lowest level since late 2010, indicating perceptions of a weak recovery. Only 28% believe Ireland will be through the worst of the recession in 12 months, down from 52% in April 2009, showing declining optimism about the economic outlook.
The document provides an economic recovery index for Ireland in February 2013. Some key points:
- The economic recovery index increased from 16.9 in February 2012 to 21.8 in February 2013, indicating continued positive momentum in the recovery.
- However, consumers remain reluctant to spend or borrow despite the improved economic outlook, and domestic breakthroughs may be needed to boost micro-level behavior.
- The index ranges from 0-100, with higher numbers indicating closer to peak economic conditions before the recession. The weakening in late 2012 has reversed going into 2013.
Economic recovery will be emotional as well as financial.

Drivers and Drinking: An Amárach Research/RTE Frontline Report September 2011Amarach Research

The document summarizes the findings of an Economic Recovery Index survey conducted in Ireland in February 2015. It finds that while the overall economic outlook continues to improve, consumer behavior indicators like spending, saving, and borrowing remain mixed. The survey finds that most Irish people believe the economy is improving but momentum has slowed in early 2015. Consumer sentiment is improved over 2009 levels but stress, worry and anxiety remain elevated compared to before the recession. The report concludes that further momentum is expected in coming months as unemployment falls but consumers will still be cautious.
The Economic Recovery Index tracks Ireland's economic recovery through a monthly survey. The February 2011 results show:

3) Saving and debt repayment remain financial priorities, while borrowing and spending intentions are up slightly from December 2010.

The June 2014 Economic Recovery Index from Amárach Research shows signs that consumer sentiment in Ireland is gradually improving. The index remained steady this month, and more consumers report feeling optimistic and comfortable financially.

Financial priorities remained paying off debts, but saving increased and spending decreased less compared to earlier in the recession. Overall national mood indicators like happiness and enjoyment rose in June from prior months.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Infrastructure Challenges in Scaling RAG with Custom AI modelsZilliz
Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with open-source and custom AI models is a complex task. This talk explores the challenges in productionizing RAG systems, including retrieval performance, response synthesis, and evaluation. We’ll discuss how to leverage open-source models like text embeddings, language models, and custom fine-tuned models to enhance RAG performance. Additionally, we’ll cover how BentoML can help orchestrate and scale these AI components efficiently, ensuring seamless deployment and management of RAG systems in the cloud.
Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.

HCL Notes und Domino Lizenzkostenreduzierung in der Welt von DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen
2. The Emotional Recovery
We have been reporting our monthly
Economic Recovery Index since April 2009.
We set out three years ago to assess the
psychological impact of the recession and to
chart our ‘emotional progress’ towards
recovery alongside our ‘economic progress’.
Our tracking research has shown the
remarkable emotional strength of the Irish
people, who have consistently reported
‘happiness’ and ‘enjoyment’ as their two most
frequently experienced emotions.
This report summarises our Economic
Recovery Index results from April 2009 to
April 2012.
The most recent fieldwork was conducted
during 20th to 25th April 2012 inclusive.
Economic Recovery Index 2
3. A Matter of Measurement
Every month we survey a representative, online sample of 1,000 adults and ask them to tell us
which one statement ‘best describes the economic situation in Ireland right now’ (listed below)
The consumer outlook fell back in April, after improving in March:
Mar’12: 0% Apr’12: 0%
Mar’12: 4% Apr’12: 3%
Mar’12: 43% Apr’12: 49% Mar’12: 24% Apr’12: 21%
Mar’12: 29% Apr’12: 27%
Economic Recovery Index 3
4. The Economic Recovery Index
Using the answers to the question on ‘stages of recovery’ we have created the Economic
Recovery Index, which ranges from 0 to 100 (0 = deep recession; 100 = back to peak).
The ERI fell back to 19.4 in April, down from a recent high of 22.3 in March 2012:

14. Ups & Downs
We have been tracking the mood of Ireland’s
consumers for three years now – from the
depth of the recession back in 2009.
Much has changed – though not everything: the
Irish people have retained a degree of zen-like
emotional stability throughout the past three
years, even as the fortunes of the economy
have fluctuated.
The modest reversal of the improving trend
since the start of 2012 is one to watch: although
we are generally more positive about the state
of the economy than we were three years ago,
we have not returned to the levels of
confidence about it all ‘ending soon’ that
prevailed not so long ago.
