The Great War, also known as World War 1, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved 65 million soldiers from across Europe and its colonies. Trench warfare led to the deaths of over 8.5 million soldiers while another 21 million were wounded. New weapons like machine guns and poison gas contributed to unprecedented casualties. The war started after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary led countries to take sides through a system of alliances. The United States initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German U-boats sank American merchant ships.

After World War II ended in 1945, Japan made a new start toward economic reconstruction as a democratic and pacifist state. Thanks to its highly educated and abundant labor force and to the concentration of capital and resources in certain key industries, such as electric power and steel, Japan succeeded in recovering from the ruins of war and achieving industrialization during the 1950s and 1960s.
Visió en el temps a través de videoconferència de HaydnFundación Impuls
El projecte en un inici va nèixer amb la idea de treballar el compositor F.J.Haydn, ja que l’any 2009 és commemora el bicentenari de la seva mort. En un primer moment vam decidir realitzar una programació per treballar el compositor utilitzant el major nombre de recursos TIC tant en les activitats a d’ensenyament-aprenentatge, així com en el treball que havíen de fer els alumnes a l’aula. Vam pensar que per a millorar la motivació i implicació dels alumnes calia afegir alguna cosa que dongués sentit a allò que volíem fer i que fés partícips totalment als nostres alumnes. Aleshores vam pensar que una videoconferència seria un element TIC altament engrescador, així com la utilització d’una videocàmera per a gravar tot el procés, una càmera de fotos per a seguir totes les activitats i els ordinadors com a eines per a realitzar gairebé totes les activitats. En iniciar el procés ens vam adonar de que els alumnes no sabíen què era una videoconferència i que per tant un dels nostres objectius havia de ser conèixer aquesta eina i treballar-la amb els alumnes perquè la coneguessin com a recurs educatiu i de comunicació. Escoles participants: CEIP Sant Sebastià de Nulles i el CEIP Josep Veciana de Perafort. El projecte s’ha realitzat en diferents fases. La primera fase va consistir en preguntar als alumnes si sabien que era una videoconferència. La resposta dels alumnes va destacar que molts d’ells no sabíen que era una videoconferència, només alguns van intuïr de què es podia tractar. La segona fase va consistir en el treball a l’aula de música del compositor austríac Franz Joseph Haydn ja que aquest any és el 200 aniversari de la seva mort. Les dues mestres de música de les dues escoles vam decidir fer una programació amb activitats on es treballés el compositor, la seva vida, les seves obres de forma totalment experiencial, amb jocs motrius, audicions actives, cercant informació, etc. Per a totes les activitats es van utilitzar recursos TIC com per exemple: visualitzar vídeos amb power point, audicions amb el Youtube, activitats clic, treball amb l’ordinador per cercar fotografies, instruments, recursos, biografia, etc. Després d’aquestes primeres activitats es va explicar als alumnes que tot allò que havíem treballat a l’aula ho hauríen de presentar a uns altres nens d’una altra escola i que un dia faríem una classe molt especial on ells seríen els protagonistes i que hauríen de treballar en conjunt per tal de que els altres nens entenguessin bé el que els hi volíem explicar. Les mestres de les dues escoles vam decidir que una escola presentaria la vida de Haydn i l’altra les obres. Els alumnes van realitzar un treball cooperatiu per tal de preparar la presentació. A l’escola de Perafort es van fer 3 grups i cada grup va preparar la seva presentació. L’escola de Nulles va fer un guió de quines seríen les obres que volíen que escoltessin, com ho representarien, quins materials i instruments necessitaven i com s’organitzaven. Les dues mestres especialistes abans de la presentació vam elaborar un guió per tal de que la presentació de la videoconferència estigués guiada i que cada grup d’alumnes sapigués quan els hi corresponia parlar o fer la seva representació. L’ús de la videoconferència ens ha donat la possibilitat d’obrir les nostres aules donant-hi entrada a eines i estratègies expertes amb els quals ens seria impossible poder-nos comunicar d’una altra manera (per la distancia, disponibilitat, economia, etc.) i, també, ens ha permès interactuar, de manera no presencial, però si en temps real (a través d’unes càmeres), amb persones que es troben lluny de nosaltres i amb les quals ens interessa poder intercanviar idees, experiències, opinions,... col•laborar. Tots els nens, siguin quines siguin les seves característiques (nouvinguts, amb necessitats educatives especials,...) han tingut les mateixes possibilit

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
