This document discusses various water-related issues faced by different countries such as pollution, global warming, agricultural waste, and industrial waste. While each country has its own unique challenges, common problems include pollution, global warming, and waste. The conclusion states that every country faces their own problems, but some are shared, and solutions exist for each problem if found.
Floor Enya Godelieve Leonie En Melissa Political Solutions
The document discusses arguments made by those who deny that global warming is occurring or is caused by human activity. Some of the arguments mentioned include:
1) Temperature measurements are flawed due to being taken near cities where the urban heat island effect occurs.
2) The sun is responsible for climate changes, and variations in solar activity could explain current warming.
3) The earth has been warmer in the past, such as during the Medieval Warm Period, so current warming is not problematic.
4) Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, not carbon dioxide from human activities.
Rodaily, Nadya, Ceren, Albila & Chanouk Economical Solutions
The document discusses several proposed economic solutions to address the greenhouse effect and global warming:
1) A "giant sunshade" placed in space to reflect some of the sun's energy away from Earth.
2) Releasing sulfur particles into the atmosphere to create a cooling effect similar to large volcanic eruptions.
3) Designing yachts that pump seawater to make clouds thicker and more reflective.
4) Creating "artificial trees" that can absorb more carbon dioxide than natural trees due to their tightly packed leaf-like structures.
All of these solutions would be extremely expensive but could work if all countries contributed funding.
Amena, Daan V
The document discusses several solutions to address the problem of global warming and rising sea levels:
1) Developing public transportation and using electric vehicles to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
2) Installing wind turbines and utilizing other renewable energy sources to move away from fossil fuels.
3) Maintaining and improving dikes and dike systems to prevent flooding of coastal areas as sea levels rise.
4) Altering river systems and creating overflow areas to limit flooding.
5) Increasing the use of solar panels on buildings and in open spaces to generate clean energy.
Chantal, Robbin, Jon Hao, Magdalena, Lara Economical Solutions
The document outlines several economic problems faced by developing countries and proposes solutions:
1. Unemployment is high due to large populations and lack of jobs. Rich countries can help by funding projects that create jobs, such as building infrastructure, factories, and providing training.
2. Illiteracy rates are high due to lack of access to education. Both rich and poor countries must invest in building more schools, training more teachers, and providing supplies so that more children, especially girls, can attend school.
3. Income differences between rich and poor are large. Rich countries can help narrow this gap by building vocational schools in poor countries to provide skills training and access to better jobs.
Isabel, Anne, Hozan En Max Social Solutions
The document discusses various solutions and aid that can be provided to refugees. It suggests building concrete bunkers in areas prone to natural disasters to protect refugees from hurricanes and floods. It also outlines the types of temporary aid that can be distributed in refugee camps, such as blankets, food, water and medical supplies. The document notes that refugees often flee due to war or environmental factors and may be sick or carry diseases like malaria, so collecting donations for medication is important. It concludes by mentioning that refugee camps may not provide good long-term care, and illegal refugees require special reception and assistance.
Hannah, Thomas, Angeline, Meraya, Nena Political Solutions
The document summarizes political problems and proposed solutions. It discusses three main issues: 1) Lack of cooperation between countries in addressing global warming, which can be improved through more frequent conferences and cross-cultural training. 2) Uneven distribution of wealth, which can be addressed by ensuring money given to developing countries is used effectively to meet needs. 3) Lack of access to healthcare in developing nations, which governments could help solve by providing more funding.
Lorenzo, Irene, Sharon, Anne, Sandra Geographical Solutions
This document discusses solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. It recommends using renewable energy sources like wind and solar instead of fossil fuels. Individual actions that can help include using public transportation or bicycles instead of cars, buying energy-efficient lightbulbs, using green energy, separating garbage for recycling, and conserving water and electricity usage. Choosing renewable energy and taking steps to reduce consumption can lessen climate change impacts.

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.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision
In the first session, we will review the organization's vision and how this has an impact on the COE Structure.
Topics covered:
• The role of a steering committee
• How do the organization’s priorities determine CoE Structure?

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

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.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor Ivaniuk
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage Engineerings

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental Health
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdf
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Skeleton Culture Code
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search Intent
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
