An influence of newly occurred pests and diseases to production and nature in Slovenia
Preventive phytosanitary measures are the first element of sustainable production if they are implemented in consistent manner. Despite fact, that harmful organisms (HOs), listed in annexes of directive 2000/29/EC, pose known threat to the Community plant health, present regime allows for continuous introductions from risky areas aiming not to disturb trade in plants and plant products. Such setting a side of plant health in rural and natural environment only partly ensures food security and competitiveness of agriculture or safeguarding the natural environment. Hopefully review of the plant health system in EU will meet better general objectives like: Contributing to plant health protection through sustainable production; Ensuring competitiveness of producers; Ensuring food security; Safeguarding the natural environment (forests, public and private green, landscape, biodiversity). Specific objectives of phytosanitary legislation are: Providing protection against HOs that so far do not occur in the EU, Controlling HOs of still limited distribution which are so harmful that strict control on further spread is needed; Ensuring the availability and use of healthy plant material at the beginning of the plant production chain; Controlling the spread of HOs through movement of host plants/plant products. With increased trade unknown risks arise daily, which should be identified before outbreaks occur in EU. Neither EU pest risk analysis nor spread-risk and cost-benefit analysis are available for better decision making. All these are done mainly at national level at the occasion of necessity. Phytosanitary actions including mandatory surveillance of listed HO and laboratory or scientific support against some important HOs in Slovenia will be analysed in respect of cost-benefit.
Measurements of spray drift were performed at herbicide application in maze at growth stage 3-4 leaves with different types of nozzles and at different spray volumes by use of fluorescent tracer technique. Use of drift-reducing nozzles caused 40-55 % reduction of spray drift at all studied distances from the field edge.
Na hmelju sta poleg 9 virusnih bolezni znana še dva molekularna patogena: hmeljev stunt viroid in hmeljev latentni viroid. Zaradi majhnosti in posebnosti v zgradbi viroidov je njihovo ugotavljanje in določevanje precej zahtevno.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields

Invasive plants lecture sarah brunel
1. Invasive Alien Plants
and EPPO
Sarah Brunel
Slovenian Plant Protection Organization
22nd of June 2012
2. European and Mediterranean
Plant Protection Organization
• Created in 1951 by 15
countries
• Now 50 Member Countries
• Under the International
Plant Protection Convention
(IPPC)
• International cooperation in
plant protection (plant
quarantine and plant
protection products)
• Bilingual (English/French)
4. Impact on agriculture
Solanum elaeagnifolium competes with
many crops (cotton, maize, lucerne,
wheat, olive, etc). In Morocco, losses of
up to 64% in maize without treatment and
78% in cotton have been reported.
5.
6. Impact on land value
Agricultural land infested with S. elaeagnifolium
loses considerable rental and resale value. In
Morocco, the value of infested fields decreased
by 25%. In the USA, farms have been abandoned
because of infestation.
7. Impact on biodiversity
Carpobrotus spp. outcompete other
species, and threaten at least 27 plant
species considered rare, endemic, or
protected in the South of France.
8. Crassula helmsii outcompetes many
native aquatic plants, in particular the
rare starfruit Damasonium alisma (one
of the rarest plants in UK).
9. Costs of control
The management of 75 km of the
Guadiana river in Spain invaded by
Eichhornia crassipes cost 14,680,000
euros from 2005 to 2008.
10. In the UK, the estimate for control of the
total area infested by H. ranunculoides
by herbicides is between £250,000 and
£300,000 per year.
11. Impact on health
Ambrosia artemisiifolia provocks
allergies. In the Rhone-Alpes region in
France, 10% of the population is
sensitive to this species.
12. A German study assessed the economic impact
of H. mantegazzianum to be more than 12
million euros annually in the country,
distributed among the health system
(1.050.000 euros), nature reserves (1.170.000
euros), road management (2.340.000 euros),
municipal management (2.100.000 euros) and
district management (5.600.000 euros).

25. The EPPO prioritization process for IAP
General principles
The EPPO process is designed:
•A. to produce a reference list of
IAP that are established or could
potentially establish in the EPPO
region.
•B. to determine which Invasive
Alien Plants (IAP) have the
highest priority for an EPPO pest
risk analysis (= quick screening
tool to identify potential
quarantine organisms);
