Capacity building on ‘ecohealth’ in Southeast Asia – successes and challengesILRI
To address current challenges related to disease emergences in livestock and humans, new integrated approaches are needed to promote collaboration between involved actors and groups towards more effective control. Southeast Asia is considered a hotspot for diseases emergence as demonstrated with Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Such new approaches include the ‘ecohealth’ (EH) concept, an approach pioneered over the last decades by the International Development Research Centre, Canada (IDRC).

In 2015 the School of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic implemented Pathbrite, an ePortflio platfrm. Over the course of
the past two years hundreds of Bachelor of Nursing students have evidenced, showcased and reflected on their work
through these portflios. This implementation was formally evaluated through a research study which employed a
mixed methods sequentil explanatory design. The research demonstrated many positie and some not so positie
aspects of the implementation. A number of recommendations also arose from the project. This presentation will discuss the recommendations that arose from the research such as more support and feedback for staff and students.
This presentation will also discuss a number of infinities that arose and extend from the research. These include extending the capability of staff and students in evidencing work through a portflio through utiising other features of
the platform. Emma Collins Senior Lecturer School of Nursing, Otago Polytechnic Emma began working for OP in 2011 and holds a

Workshop: Best practices for undergraduate research experiencesKirsten Zimbardi
International invitation to facilitate workshop at the inaugural American Physiological Society's Institute on Teaching & Learning (Bar Harbour, Maine, USA; June 2014). Workshop was an interactive consultation with bioscience academics who wanted to implement or expand their programs for engaging undergraduate students in authentic research experiences.
Abstract
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) during which students undertake a research project over an extended period of time under the direct supervision of a researcher, are associated with high levels of student engagement, academic success (Kuh 2008) and a wide range of student benefits (Hunter et al. 2006). In physiology education, practicals that incorporate physiological research can be used to promote active learning (Michael 2006), and teach students key skills in critical evaluation of complex data alongside important physiological concepts (Zimbardi et al. 2013, Luckie et al. 2012). Following an extensive investigation of diverse ways that research experiences are successfully embedded into undergraduate curricula (Zimbardi and Myatt 2012), we have developed a model for up-scaling UREs to cohorts of several hundred students. We are now leading a national project in Australia to support the uptake of these Authentic Large-Scale Undergraduate Research Experiences (ALUREs) and provide the benefits of research experiences to thousands of undergraduate students. During this workshop, examples of ALUREs from the biosciences will be used to highlight key considerations for ALURE design and implementation. Workshop participants will be engaged in developing their own ALURE using a detailed checklist derived from our extensive experience supporting faculty in developing, implementing and evaluating ALUREs.
This is a presentation at the workshop on Emerging opportunities in post-graduate public health education for health systems development, Cape Town, 2015

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

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.

Capacity building
• EcoHealth lectures/lecture series (1st year)
• EcoHealth/One Health guest lectures
8. • Change from Trainee to Trainer perspective
– Initially joint by EH experts but later more and more independently
– Meanwhile training provided on request (e.g. by CMU for external projects)
• Provider of EH training
– faculty level
– other faculties
– outside faculty (limited scope)
• Insert EH ideas in ongoing curricula
• Undergraduate courses
• EcoHealth manuals

Perspectives for the EHRC
16. • Dean level open for the idea (precondition for success)
• Build up on existing linkages (which worked already in the past)
• Provide a solid background on EcoHealth
• Keep it pragmatic/doable
• Learning by doing – case studies
• Target strong incentives “peer reviewed” publications, this should
be not compromised
• Available human resources a limiting factor
• “Intra institutional” funding mechanism needs consideration and
certain flexibility
16
Observations and lessons learned
17. Observations and lessons learned
• Ensure a continued research interest for each researcher/faculty
• Accept that you may loose some researchers on the way, focus on a
rather small but active group
• Community involvement
Strong in both centers
• Qualitative meets quantitative research
Still expandable at both centers
Use of qualitative tools remains a challenge
• Ensure the right direction
– EH related activities should be regular revisited to ensure that you are
on the right track
17
Observations and lessons learned
18. • Both centers operate independent from initial seed
funding
• Time commitment of key researchers is a challenge
Allocate sufficient human resources
• Monitor EcoHealth uptake
• Policy level involvement/recognition
• Funding for EH research
• Provide sufficient time for change of mindsets (e.g.
qualitative versus quantitative research)
