Women are underrepresented in technology roles compared to men, despite women outnumbering men in the voluntary sector overall. The conference brought together 1400 women technologists from 22 countries to discuss issues around the lack of gender diversity in the technology industry. The computer industry is traditionally seen as a male-dominated field characterized by technical jargon and competitions, with working styles that do not accommodate women's lifestyles.

People Can Change The World
This document outlines the agenda for the 53rd EOQ Congress on a new society for the brave of heart and mind. It discusses key concepts around social entrepreneurship such as having an ethical vision, passion for creating social and economic value, and resilience. It also covers the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental dimensions that organizations should consider. Finally, it contrasts old paradigms of maximizing profit versus new paradigms of transformational leadership, stakeholders, ethics and partnerships to create win-win economies through grassroots approaches and sustainable development.
CSR Origins
The document discusses two hypotheses for what drives corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance among companies: the globalist hypothesis that CSR is driven by globalization pressures, and the institutionalist hypothesis that CSR is influenced by national institutions. The author finds support for both hypotheses. Countries with high proportions of transnational corporations and outward foreign investment tend to have high CSR scores, supporting the globalist view. Countries with strong social, corporatist and political cultures also tend to have high CSR scores, supporting the institutionalist perspective. There are likely multiple causal factors and paths leading to high CSR.

The document discusses the dangers of distracted driving, particularly cell phone use while driving. It notes that hands-free devices do not eliminate cognitive distraction. Nearly 25% of crashes involve drivers distracted by cell phones. The document encourages readers to make a personal commitment to drive cell free, research technology to prevent cell use while driving, contact elected officials to support legislation, and download a cell phone policy kit to implement policies at work. It provides several specific suggestions for how to curb cell phone use while driving and help change the culture.
What Is Matter Bad
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object and does not change based on location, while volume measures the size of an object in three-dimensional space. Common tools like balances, graduated cylinders, and meter sticks can be used to measure the mass and volume of different objects to determine if they are made of matter.
Findability - Peter Giles
The document discusses viewing habits with electronic program guides (EPGs) in different countries. In the UK, the EPG is the 5th most popular channel. In France, 80% of viewers look at programs in a small mosaic EPG window. In Japan, HDTV is rarely viewed in full screen and instead through the EPG. The document also suggests that as the number of global channels increases, findability of content will become a very valuable asset.

Historia
La Guerra Fría fue un período de tensión geopolítica y militar entre los Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética que duró desde 1947 hasta 1991. Este conflicto ideológico se caracterizó por fuertes desacuerdos entre el capitalismo y la democracia liberal de Occidente versus el comunismo soviético. Aunque nunca hubo enfrentamientos directos entre las superpotencias, la rivalidad generó carreras armamentistas y conflictos regionales por todo el mundo.

Es importante conocer las causas para poder contrarrestar sus dañinos efectos físicos y emocionales.
Mayor O Viejo
Ser mayor se refiere a tener una edad avanzada pero mantener la vitalidad y el espíritu joven, mientras que ser viejo implica haber perdido la energía y el entusiasmo de la juventud. Ser mayor significa seguir aprendiendo y enseñando, mantener proyectos y sueños para el futuro, mientras que ser viejo es vivir anclado en el pasado y ver cada día como igual sin metas ni ilusiones. La diferencia está en el espíritu más que en la edad cronológica.

The pied piper brap
The history of the BME third sector in Britain has been largely shaped by UK race relations policy over the past 60 years. BME organizations originated as a response to racism and discrimination and have taken on roles assigned by public policy, such as service providers for niche communities. While policy support has benefited the sector, it has also limited its development by narrowly defining its functions. An understanding of the sector's unique relationship with race relations policy is key to envisioning its future development.

Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Crafting Excellence: A Comprehensive Guide to iOS Mobile App Development Serv...

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?

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
