Global Business & Market Strategy: CEMEX - China Market Entry ProposalAlexandra Brooks
Executive Summary: Based on analysis of the latest People's Republic of China Five Year Guideline (2011-15) and CEMEX's current operations, two western Special Economic Zones were identified as presenting significant business opportunities for CEMEX, one of the world's largest cement producers.
3P (people, planet, and profit) criteria and a CAGE distance framework (culture, administrative, geographic, and economic differences) were applied during the market research and analysis stages in order to identify lucrative market opportunities for CEMEX to enter and gain competitive advantage in the western Chinese market. Based on these findings a strategy was recommended for a market entry into western China.
Uncertainty analysis was used to determine likely failure points, recommendations were made on mitigating those risk factors, including the identification of several regional markets that were over-served.

Reducing The Cost Of Multi-Material Lightweight Joining & Forming: Created Specifically For The Manufacturing Job Functions
REDUCING COSTS. REDUCING CYCLE TIME. JOINING MIXED MATERIAL IN HIGH VOLUME.
Regardless of how different the vehicle design is, how advanced the manufacturing plant is and how large the budget is, every large scale OEM in the US, Europe and Asia is working towards every single one of these goals.
Every OEM is researching and testing and piloting to figure out three key things:
Which joining and forming techniques deliver the highest performance at the lowest costs on different advanced lightweight materials
In which parts of the vehicle can these techniques be most cost effectively applied
How can they be implemented quickly and cost effectively into the production line
Everyone has their own answers, but with technology and understanding advancing at break neck speed each year, what was the best today is rarely the best tomorrow.
THE US-WIDE WEIGHT REDUCTION DRIVE ADVANCES AT PACE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing final rules to extend the National Program to further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve fuel economy for model years 2017 through 2025 light-duty vehicles. These are projected to result in an average industry fleet wide level of 163 grams/mile of carbon dioxide (CO2) in model year 2025 (equivalent to 54.5 mpg vs. 29 mpg in 2013). With these regulations in place, OEMs are under increasing pressure to further explore all possible methods and strategies that will help ensure these stringent standards are cost effectively met. OEMs have ranked "meeting of the fuel efficiency and emission targets" as the top challenge that they presently face.
THE INTEGRAL OEM-LED JOINING AND FORMING KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE RETURNS TO DETROIT - 2ND YEAR RUNNING
After resounding success in its launch year, Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing: Joining & Forming Focus 2015 is returning in its second year to equip joining, forming and manufacturing engineering professionals with the very latest case-study based knowledge and shared advanced practices. The carefully selected expert OEM speakers will critically inform delegates about selecting the most suitable methods for joining and forming parts and components made from mixed materials, and how to efficiently and cost-effectively introduce them into the assembly lines.
Need for integrating various logistics aspects in India is increasingly felt by the industry participants. This document brings document puts forth a perspective.
World trade and production are increasingly structured around “global value chains”
(GVCs). A value chain identifies the full range of activities that firms undertake to bring a
product or a service from its conception to its end use by final consumers. Technological
progress, cost, access to resources and markets and trade policy reforms have facilitated the
geographical fragmentation of production processes across the globe according to the
comparative advantage of the locations. This international fragmentation of production is a powerful source of increased efficiency and firm competitiveness. Today, more than half of world manufactured imports are intermediate goods (primary goods, parts and components,and semi-finished products), and more than 70% of world services imports are intermediate services.

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.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
