Measuring and mitigating the risk of mycotoxins in maize and dairy products for poor consumers in Kenya, Johanna Lindahl (ILRI) and Alexia Pretari (IFPRI)African trypanosomiasis resistance in cattle by a transgenic approach
We propose a new strategy for creating resistance in cattle to African trypanosomiasis, a major disease that affects agricultural production in broad regions of Africa. The long-term aim is to generate genetically modified cattle, which carry a gene that imparts resistance to African trypanosomes. The gene, APOL1, encodes the key trypanolytic component of Baboon’s protective Trypanosome Lytic Factor (TLF) against both cattle and human-infective trypanosomes. TLFs are only found in humans, gorillas, sooty mangabys, mandrills and baboons and govern resistance to different African trypanosome species.

The document discusses how cattle producers can add value to their calves to receive premium prices in a shifting market with increasing supplies. It suggests producers consider preconditioning calves, verifying health and vaccination status, testing for bovine viral diarrhea, and using DNA analysis to identify genetic carcass traits. These value-added cattle programs are already returning market premiums for producers and could become more important as the market evolves. Testing calves for diseases like bovine viral diarrhea and identifying superior genetic traits allows producers to differentiate their cattle from commodities and charge premium prices.

The document describes a pilot program to professionalize informal food markets in developing countries through training, certification, and branding of informal vendors. The program aims to improve food safety and nutrition by reducing contamination in the informal value chain. Research shows informal markets play a major role in food security but often lack knowledge and regulation regarding hygienic practices. The program trained informal dairy traders in Kenya, providing certification upon completion and allowing them to be officially recognized through branding. Preliminary results found improved hygienic practices and an economic impact, though longer-term follow up is still needed to ensure sustainability. The theory of change explains how such an intervention could work to ultimately benefit consumers through safer, more available food products.

Breeding program options.pptx
This document discusses breeding programs that have been implemented in Ethiopia for dairy cattle, sheep, and chickens. It outlines several approaches used: straight breeding (selection), community-based breed improvement, crossbreeding, and breed substitution. For dairy cattle, crossbreeding programs with Friesian, Jersey and Simmental breeds were used to increase milk production of indigenous Fogera, Horro, Boran and Barka cattle. Artificial insemination was also utilized but faced challenges. Breeding programs were established across Ethiopia with objectives like pure breeding indigenous breeds, evaluating crossbreeds, and developing composite breeds.

The sustainable use of animal genetics in developing countries
The document summarizes a presentation about the sustainable use of animal genetics in developing countries. It notes that demand for livestock products is growing rapidly in Southeast Asia but that lack of private incentives threatens indigenous animal genetic resources. It suggests that ex-situ conservation is one option but in-situ conservation could be facilitated by new market-driven models that create demand for traits in local breeds and by exciting new genomic tools that can increase local breeds' adaptability and productivity.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
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.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
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.
