Lab Diagnosis - Prac. Microbiology
Infectious diseases are clinically evident diseases that can be transmitted between individuals or species. They are caused by pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, or parasites. Laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases involves direct or indirect methods. The direct method detects microorganisms or their components in patient specimens through microscopic examination, culture techniques, or non-culture methods. The indirect method detects antibodies against microorganisms in the patient's serum. Microscopic examination is often the first step and involves making stained or unstained smears to look for microorganisms. Culture techniques aim to isolate and identify microbes using various media, tests, and molecular methods. Non-culture techniques more rapidly detect specific antigens or gene sequences

Classification of bacteria based on temperature, ph and oxygen reqiurement.do...
Bacteria can be classified in several ways, including by their morphology, genetics, staining properties, and metabolism. Morphological classification looks at shape, arrangement, structures like spores, flagella, and cell wall properties. Genotypic classification examines DNA content and DNA-DNA hybridization. Bacteria also differ in their nutritional modes, like being photoautotrophic, chemoheterotrophic, or parasitic. Growth requires suitable temperature, pH, oxygen levels, nutrients, and water activity. Isolating specific bacteria uses selective methods like culturing under different physical, chemical, or biological conditions to separate types.

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.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
