Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices over time which decreases the purchasing power of a currency. It is measured using indices like the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), Consumer Price Index (CPI), and GDP deflator. There are two main types of inflation - demand-pull inflation caused by increased aggregate demand, and cost-push inflation caused by increased production costs. Governments use monetary policy like changing interest rates, fiscal policy like altering taxation and expenditures, and price controls to combat inflation.
A2 Economics Exam Technique - Weesteps to Evaluationtutor2u
While low inflation used to be a top priority, it may no longer be appropriate given today's economic context. High unemployment and the risk of deflation are more immediate concerns. However, maintaining some inflation target is still important for long-term stability and investment. Overall, the appropriate policy priorities depend on weighing these different factors against the wider economic situation.

Short-run economic fluctuations are caused by shifts in aggregate demand and aggregate supply. A decrease in aggregate demand causes output to fall in the short run as the economy enters a recession, with declining GDP and rising unemployment. In the long run, output returns to its natural rate. An adverse shift in aggregate supply also causes output to fall and can lead to stagflation, with both recession and inflation. Policymakers aim to stabilize output by influencing aggregate demand.
This week our students have had the opportunity to be part of real-time current events. With the media circus buzzing around Kony2012, Invisible Children, and the LRA – I created a (fairly) student-friendly powerpoint that objectively explains the background of Kony and the LRA. I am not getting into the hype surrounding supporters and opponents of Invisible Children, but have included them as well as other organizations at the end of the presentation to give students options regarding how to get involved.
No matter what people feel about Invisible Children, it’s obvious that they have created a successful awareness raising campaign. My students have had a lot of questions about the whole situation, so I created this powerpoint that I am now sharing with you.

Refrigeration is the process of cooling a substance below the temperature of its surroundings. Major uses include air conditioning, food preservation, and industrial processes. A ton of refrigeration is the heat required to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours. The Carnot refrigeration cycle involves heat addition, heat rejection, and net work to transfer heat from a low temperature reservoir to a high temperature reservoir. The vapor compression cycle uses the same processes as the Carnot cycle and is commonly used in refrigeration systems. It involves compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation. Refrigerants are circulated through the system's main components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. Multi-pressure and cascade systems

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice. In precedenza ha lavorato a migrazioni e corsi di formazione su LibreOffice per diverse amministrazioni pubbliche e privati. Da gennaio 2020 lavora in SUSE come Software Release Engineer per Uyuni e SUSE Manager e quando non segue la sua passione per i computer e per Geeko coltiva la sua curiosità per l'astronomia (da cui deriva il suo nickname deneb_alpha).

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.
