The document discusses reducing carbon footprints and climate change. It begins with an introduction of Agneya Carbon Ventures and defines carbon footprint. It then discusses regulations around reducing carbon emissions in different countries and regions. It outlines both risks and opportunities for companies in reducing their carbon footprint. Specifically, it examines the carbon footprint of the textile sector in India and strategies textile companies can adopt across their supply chain to lower emissions, including farming practices, manufacturing processes, packaging, transportation, and consumer use. It provides an example of a company that launched an "Apparel to combat climate change" line using carbon reduction labeling.

La Huella de Carbono es un concepto que se ha abierto paso con gran fuerza los últimos años, ya que cada día son más las empresas y organismos públicos a nivel nacional e internacional que realizan su transición hacia un modelo de gestión baja en carbono, esto exige ir más allá de la forma habitual de gestionar, obliga a colaborar con los proveedores para calcular sus emisiones, evaluar cuántos GEI (gases de efecto invernadero) se han generado en el ciclo de vida y sobre todo valorar las fuentes de emisiones asociadas a los diferentes productos y actividades.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
