Gender is an important issue in the context of information and communication technologies ICT . Studies show that ICT use is subject to gender bias, e.g. in relation to ICT use and interests. This contribution describes the current situation of gender and ICT professions. Based on an empirical study, it shows particular areas in ICT education that suffer from gender inequalities in both countries. Furthermore, the chapter elaborates how gender inequalities develop from secondary to professional ICT careers based on statistics. As a consequence of recession driven economic development, the information and communication technology sector has weakened in recent years in OECD countries. Still, an ICT growth of about 4 percent was observed in 2008. Although there was a decrease in 2009 due to the current financial crisis, a general upturn is expected in the long term because of constant development of the ICT services, software, products for Internet use and communication, and infrastructure. The ICT skills of the work force contribute to the growth the overall share of employees in ICT specialist occupations is 4 percent and increasing rapidly, and 20 percent of employment relates to occupations that use ICT extensively.Even though information and communication technology ICT is essential for everyday life and has gained considerable attention in education and other sectors, it also carries individual differences in its use and relevant skills. This systematic review aims to examine the gender differences in ICT use and skills for learning through technology. A comprehensive search of eight journal databases and a specific selection criterion was carried out to exclude articles that match our stated exclusion criteria. We included 42 peer reviewed empirical publications and conference proceedings published between 2006 and 2020. For a subsample of studies, we performed a small scale meta analysis to quantify possible gender differences in ICT use and skills. A random effects model uncovered a small and positive, yet not significant, effect size in favor of boys g = 0.17, 95 CI 0.01, 0.36 . However, this finding needs to be further backed by large scale meta analyses, including more study samples and a broader set of ICT use and skills measures. We highlight several concerns that should be addressed and more thoroughly in collaboration with one another to better IT skills and inspire new policies to increase the quality of ICT use.

Benefits and Hurdles of AI In The Workplace – What Comes Next?CSCJournals
During the last few years, there has already been a solid discussion and political will, transversal to most European countries, on the need to invest in prevention, promoting healthier living environments and person-centred digital solutions. In short, it seems that consensus on the need to move forward and invest in wellbeing and quality of life was achieved.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and the confinement measures it implied, many services had to be closed; teleworking suddenly became the rule and many families stayed at their homes, with the children in remote classes, some without sufficient equipment or the most adequate digital tools available. Digital services, if implemented correctly, can be the right tools to address many of these challenges. The importance of implementing them correctly increases in the current context of accelerated Digital Transformation, where many are looking towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a means to help people to cope with the increasing number of digitized work. We are assisting to a gear-shift in the current digital revolution, as now we better understand how it could have been helpful, if already embedded in daily life.
COVID-19 generated severe consequences for the working context, with effects on physical and mental health and wellbeing, and with trends such as teleworking coming to stay. Organizations and individuals working on AI can play a great role in providing solutions, not only during this emergency period, but also in the long-term perspective, and not only for office workers but in more traditional industries as well. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic is a driver for the digital revolution in the workplace across many levels. However, inequalities persist and their impact on universal access to the digital world is enormous. Moreover, several other challenges come from the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace.
This paper addresses how technology applied to the work environment can be leveraged to respond to the emerging challenges raised by COVID-19. It also provides reflections on the main opportunities and challenges that the use of AI solutions in the workplace imply, suggesting measures or recommendations to tackle them, towards a concerted approach to AI, integrating the policy agenda with the implementation strategy.

The Next Normal Digital Transformation In A Post-pandemic FutureSeta Wicaksana
Technology offers businesses across industries incredible potential to engage with people around the world at a moment’s notice. Prior to the pandemic, many organizations were just beginning to see the potential that many of these capabilities offered their businesses. However, when in-person meetings and work were limited in response to Covid-19, they quickly realized just how powerful technology can be. The pandemic helped to accelerate digital transformation and created a landscape that will continue to encourage innovation and technological adoption moving forward. As businesses begin to better understand the capabilities of these types of modern technology, they will also begin to understand the opportunities that lie before them, even after the pandemic is over.
Digital transformation is more necessary during this crisis, not less. But that doesn’t mean it will look the same as it did before the pandemic. Resources—both in terms of talent and money—will likely be constrained. Digital initiatives may need to be reprioritized based on relevance in the current environment. New problems and opportunities may come to light with greater urgency. For some businesses, the forces of disruption may be so great that the long-term strategic vision will need to be overhauled. And any digital transformation roadmap that does not deliver value at every increment will need to be reimagined. The key is continuing to experiment and innovate with digital solutions front and center. With the right approach, businesses can come out of the fray stronger, more agile, and more customer-centric than before. Foremost, digitisation is accelerating. To lead in the post-COVID-19 world.
There will be no “return to normal”. The coronavirus is permanently reshaping the way we live and work. Some of the behaviors developed in crisis—including wide-scale digital adoption—will outlast the pandemic, well after restrictions on activity are lifted. To stay competitive, organizations must respond to these behavioral changes and meet emerging customer demands. Savvy organizations will focus now on leveraging advanced analytics to extract insights from their customer data and continue internal and external data integration efforts to develop a more holistic view. Detecting those signals of change early will be crucial to optimizing the customer experience and redefining customer value propositions in line with evolving preferences and needs.

• Strengthen Irish enterprise to respond to market shocks and disruption in response to COVID-19 and Brexit
• Drive transformational change and the pace of innovation transitioning to new business models, digitalisation and the low carbon economy
• Scale and Grow the export and start-up base, across regions and sectors and grow companies of all sizes.
Enhancing, nurturing and leveraging the research and innovation ecosystem is key to Enterprise Ireland achieving these objectives.

The Next Normal Digital Transformation In A Post-pandemic FutureSeta Wicaksana
Technology offers businesses across industries incredible potential to engage with people around the world at a moment’s notice. Prior to the pandemic, many organizations were just beginning to see the potential that many of these capabilities offered their businesses. However, when in-person meetings and work were limited in response to Covid-19, they quickly realized just how powerful technology can be. The pandemic helped to accelerate digital transformation and created a landscape that will continue to encourage innovation and technological adoption moving forward. As businesses begin to better understand the capabilities of these types of modern technology, they will also begin to understand the opportunities that lie before them, even after the pandemic is over.
Digital transformation is more necessary during this crisis, not less. But that doesn’t mean it will look the same as it did before the pandemic. Resources—both in terms of talent and money—will likely be constrained. Digital initiatives may need to be reprioritized based on relevance in the current environment. New problems and opportunities may come to light with greater urgency. For some businesses, the forces of disruption may be so great that the long-term strategic vision will need to be overhauled. And any digital transformation roadmap that does not deliver value at every increment will need to be reimagined. The key is continuing to experiment and innovate with digital solutions front and center. With the right approach, businesses can come out of the fray stronger, more agile, and more customer-centric than before. Foremost, digitisation is accelerating. To lead in the post-COVID-19 world.
There will be no “return to normal”. The coronavirus is permanently reshaping the way we live and work. Some of the behaviors developed in crisis—including wide-scale digital adoption—will outlast the pandemic, well after restrictions on activity are lifted. To stay competitive, organizations must respond to these behavioral changes and meet emerging customer demands. Savvy organizations will focus now on leveraging advanced analytics to extract insights from their customer data and continue internal and external data integration efforts to develop a more holistic view. Detecting those signals of change early will be crucial to optimizing the customer experience and redefining customer value propositions in line with evolving preferences and needs.

Study use of ict for agriculture in giz projects giz snrd africaAgridurable
This document provides an overview of ICT for Agriculture (ICT4Ag), including its definition, past lessons, and current use in GIZ projects. ICT4Ag has the potential to transform smallholder farming and food security by providing farmers access to information on weather, prices, and best practices via technologies like mobile phones. However, past projects show that technology alone is not sufficient and must be well-integrated with human and social factors. The document then examines several current GIZ projects utilizing ICT4Ag across Africa and Asia to improve extension services, value chains, and innovation in the agricultural sector.
Every year, Inria publishes its activity report for the previous year. In its 20 pages of scientific and economic successes, the report pays particular tribute this year to the commitment and action of all the Institute's staff, in both crisis and strategic projects.
This document provides background information on a workshop to discuss supporting youth ICT-based entrepreneurship and innovations in agriculture. The workshop aims to achieve goals in CTA's youth strategy, including enhancing youth engagement in agriculture through ICT. It will discuss case studies of youth initiatives using ICT in agriculture and identify strategies to promote youth ICT innovations and entrepreneurship. The document outlines the objectives, expected results, and participants of the workshop. It also provides examples of initiatives in areas like ICT software for agriculture, organizations supporting innovations, and enhancing youth agricultural businesses with ICT. Challenges faced by some initiatives are also noted.

paper. I will emphasize the
lyrics
to analyze its meanings, significance, and impacts to audiences.
l
This 4 pages should be focusing on the positive impacts significance of this song from perspectives of, please follow my thoughts:
1.
Why this song is worthy to be analyzed (from its influences, sales volume)? Why pick the word “stripper”, (idealizing the woman that they can’t have). Mention a little at the beginning.
2.
Pay great attention
to the lyrics represent “era is changing with time” cuz back to 60, 70, find the representation of music products of the eras, that people in that ages would never put sex, sexual implication texts on the screens/ in public. so from a positive perspective, time is changing, that people would create what they want fitted in new ideologies in the societies, and ways of expressing art are changing, people are changing, the societies are changing, and there is no improvement without changing. (please remember to using lyrics specifically to make demonstration) And what it brought to audience with this kind of creativity (modern way)
3.
Combine the theories to the lyrics, such as cultivation theory, people believe what they saw on TV is true in real life, how it changes people in different ways. As well as using the journals that in the literature reviews, how it works or against the previous research that other people did, (because most of them said media had “negative impacts” rather than “positive”, how our research is significant and different to talk about the positive.

Research PaperEvery organization is faced with some kind of ris.docxpearlenehodge
Research Paper:
Every organization is faced with some kind of risk or threat that could cause an interruption to the organization’s operations. These risks and threats can be internal or external. To prepare for these events, organizations must focus their attention on how to assess different types of risks to protect the organization from the possible negative effects. Performing a risk assessment is one of the most important steps in the risk management process.
A Risk Assessment is periodic assessment of the risk and magnitude of the harm that could result from the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the organization. Many organizations perform risk assessments to measure the amount of risks that could affect their organization, and identify ways to minimize these risks before a major disaster occurs.
In this paper the student must identify the risks and potential effects associated with the areas of the organization pertaining to security and disaster recovery.
Please be sure to include the following:
·
Introduction of the organization
·
Overview of the IT department and personnel
·
Discuss the occurrence or breach or disaster that has happened.
·
Perform a risk assessment and threat identification section for the organization that you have chosen, as RISK ANAYSIS AND THE SECURITY SURVEY. This section should point out the organizations weaknesses or vulnerabilities. This will be your hypothesis as to why the breach or disaster has occurred.
·
Create a
response plan
as identified in RISK ANAYSIS AND THE SECURITY SURVEY.
·
Be detailed in your response plan as this will be the most critical part of your paper. You can create your own response plan even if the organization has its own plan. This plan will be in direct response to remedying the issues that were caused by the breach or disaster.
Structure:
·
No less than 8 pages
·
No plagiarism
·
APA format
·
Correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar are essential.

*How was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act ultimately the codification—and end result—of decades of anti-Chinese sentiment?
*How did the designation “aliens ineligible for citizenship” and the “yellow peril” negatively affect Asian Americans in the years prior to 1952?
*How have the dual exclusions of citizenship and immigration worked together to “create” an Asian American race that is viewed as “forever foreigner”?
*How do the
Ozawa
and
Thind
cases exemplify the inherent social constructedness of “race”?
*How did the invention and popularization of the model minority myth reflect the government’s desire to deflect black demands during the civil rights movement, and how did the myth in turn take on a life of its own?
*How has the combination of immigration restrictions and exclusions on citizenship created an Asian American race that is seen as “forever foreigner”?

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
