Key message Technical changes Institutional and organizational changes Livestock system upgrading Livelihood Impacts

This document outlines a methodological approach for developing capacity development strategies within the CRP Maize Phase II project. It proposes establishing a framework based on impact pathways and theories of change to identify the capacities needed to achieve project outcomes. It also suggests analyzing capacity development at three levels - individual, organizational, and societal - within three systems: CGIAR capacity development, NARS capacity development, and non-research system capacity development. The overall objective is to create coherent and systematic capacity development interventions at the CRP level by working with projects to develop aligned strategies, monitoring, and evaluation of quality and impact.

AgShare is a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that aims to build an open system for sharing agricultural teaching and learning materials across African universities. It involves partnerships between universities, faculty, students, and content providers. The goal is to develop and distribute open educational resources that address gaps in African agriculture curriculums. Initial pilots are underway at four universities in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya. The project hopes to ultimately impact farmers' welfare by empowering students with openly licensed, localized agricultural content that can be integrated globally and drive change in African agriculture.

Francois Stepman

1. Agricultural research and development in Africa has embraced an innovation framework to improve uptake of research outputs and address complex problems. 2. Case studies on the Integrated Agricultural Research for Development approach in sub-Saharan Africa and the user-led PAEPARD program show that multi-stakeholder partnerships through innovation platforms can generate relevant technologies, apply knowledge to create development outcomes, and scale innovations. 3. Lessons indicate research plays a fundamental role in innovation but user-led partnerships have greater impact and sustainability, while innovation platforms accelerate scaling but more understanding is needed of these processes.

ILRI program outline: Sustainable Livestock Systems

ILRI

The ILRI program outline aims to contribute to productive and sustainable livestock systems through three main research themes: 1) Managing interactions between environmental change and livestock, 2) Proving intensification can be sustainable, and 3) Developing resilient livestock systems. The program strategy involves characterizing risks/benefits to livestock keepers, developing strategies to overcome constraints, and catalyzing adoption of solutions. Key activities include research on emissions/adaptation, sustainable intensification approaches, and building an enabling environment for wider uptake of strategies. The intended impacts are productive livestock despite future uncertainties, positive environmental benefits, and help for poor people to manage risks.

Sustainable intensification in livestock systems: where does feed fit?

ILRI

This document discusses sustainable intensification in livestock systems and the role of feed. It notes that livestock systems are changing due to population growth, climate change, and global trade. Intensification can benefit smallholders but also poses risks. It emphasizes that feed must be considered as part of a larger system influenced by biophysical factors, input delivery, markets, competing livelihoods, and institutions. The document outlines push and pull factors and presents different strategies for assessing feed needs, identifying production niches, and linking feed to markets to support improved smallholder livestock enterprises and livelihoods.

Francois Stepman

This document summarizes a study on the PAEPARD Users' Led Process (ULP) and its implications for agricultural research and development partnerships between Europe and Africa. The study found that while ULP dialogues help identify user priorities, they are not sufficient for building long-term partnerships which require consistent funding and trust over time. Bringing together diverse stakeholders from research and non-research backgrounds strengthens capacities and speeds up innovation, but managing such partnerships is challenging due to differences in agendas, communication, and engagement over the long process. Overall, ULPs can foster productive multi-stakeholder research partnerships if funding constraints are addressed and European participation is enhanced.

Alexander Decker

The document discusses the production challenges and socio-economic impact of dairy goat farming amongst smallholder farmers in Kenya. It finds that most smallholder dairy goat farmers are women, many of whom are widows, and they depend entirely on family labor. Milk production levels range from half a liter to ten liters per day on average. Access to land, water, and feed are major challenges. While dairy goats provide income and food, small land sizes limit fodder production. Water sources are also limited and seasonal. There is a need for farmer training in areas like feeding, breeding, and record keeping to improve productivity and support livelihoods.

This document discusses strategies for integrated parasite management in small ruminants. It emphasizes that the goal is to prevent clinical disease and production losses from gastrointestinal parasites rather than attempting to create parasite-free animals. Management tips include selective treatment based on FAMACHA or fecal egg counts rather than blanket deworming. Nutritional management and host resistance can help animals withstand worm burdens. Strategic deworming of dams before kidding can reduce pasture contamination and the periparturient egg rise. Separating younger, more susceptible animals can also help control parasite transmission.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe

Precisely

Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market. Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)

Javier Junquera

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security. This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing. The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

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?
