This document outlines the itinerary for an event called "Made in China" that aims to celebrate the craftsmanship heritage of China and the Nordic region. The 7-day event brings together Nordic and Chinese designers, architects, investors and companies to share their expertise through keynote speeches, tours of design studios and workshops in Shanghai, and visits to craft workshops in wood, bamboo, and porcelain. Participants will also work in groups on topics combining Nordic and Chinese perspectives before presenting their outcomes. The event seeks to highlight both regions' proud traditions of functional, high-quality design inspired by nature and to foster greater cultural exchange and business opportunities between the two.

In India, jewelry is designed to match with the attire. The theme of its design as well as the color of the jewelry is taken into consideration while adoring. To make jewelry more attractive, it is topped by diamonds and various types of gems. Traditionally, Indian jewelry has been made of heavy and voluminous gold pieces, but recently jewelry made of silver, platinum and other metals has become quite popular among people. The popularity of jewelry made of stone, encrusted on metal, has grown more recently. In the following PPT, we will tell you about the different kinds of jewelry in India.

Made for China. Launch Your Consumer Brand in China in 3 Steps.
The Chinese consumer market surpassed Japan as the second largest consumer market after the USA in 2013. Chinese consumers look for quality and innovation and recognize these qualities in European brands. Large global mass consumer brands as well as smaller niche brands can profit from the growing purchasing power of Chinese consumers. Entrepreneurs approaching the Chinese consumer market start by making a market study first. Questions here are how much demand is there for the product, what about price levels, competition, how should I adapt my product to local market needs etc.
In my presentation I analyse different income levels, geographical income spread, growth in different consumer categories, 6 different consumer types based on income and social orientation, and important market trends. Next we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of physical presence and online sales channels, as well as some practical issues related to business registration in China. Then, I go in to detail on how to sell and promote your products through e-commerce channels like Alibaba's Tmall.com and m-commerce channels like Tencent's Wechat.
This presentation was given to an audience of students in Sinology and Applied Economics at the University of Ghent in Autumn 2014.

China’s brands haven’t yet made a notable impact on the global consumer market, but will that change in the near future? Before the country can develop a cohort of strong brands, its marketers will have to remake what “Made in China” means to consumers. A leading crop of Chinese brands are already chipping away at some of the key factors standing in the way of global success as China actively seeks to export more than just the rest of the world’s manufactured goods.
This report details the external and internal factors hindering the efforts of Chinese brands to take root in developed markets. It also details some of the strategies that prominent brands, from Lenovo and Li-Ning to Haier and Huawei, are deploying to knock down these roadblocks.
Made in China: 8 Insights into the Chinese ConsumerBrand Genetics
A succinct overview of key factors influencing Chinese Consumer behaviour.
China truly is a land of opportunity with 30 years of growth that have helped lift millions out of poverty, enriched a middle class that is expanding fast and created 2.7 million millionaires and over 250 billionaires (US$). Given this speed of change and the complexity of a country with a population of 1.35 billion, making sense of the consumer and market context is not just useful, it's vital for success. Even if you're not working directly with China, you may be feeling its growing influence.
At Brand Genetics we're constantly working to understand the direction of change in global markets and identify the implications and opportunities for brands. To share some of our learnings the attached Speed Briefing outlines 8 key insights into the fast evolving world of the Chinese consumer.

Basic overview of the political, cultural and social influences on 20th century Architecture based on Kenneth Frampton's "Modern Architecture: A Critical History', for teaching fifth semester B.Arch students of University of Calicut.
White walls, wood floors, modern furniture, and a lack of clutter—all of these elements describe a room using the Scandinavian aesthetic. More than just furniture you buy out of Ikea, this type of design originated from the Nordic countries in the mid-1950s and remains one of the preeminent interior styles in the world.
Start of interior design in human history.pptxMEGHANA S
Interior architecture is the practice of sensitively and innovatively redesigning an existing interior space, while respecting its historical value. As well as considering aesthetic design, interior architecture focuses on the functionality and material construction of interior spaces. It addresses structural elements like window and door placements, ventilation, heating and plumbing, as well as interior decoration.

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.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

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:

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.

2. From the great wall in China to the Stave churches in the Nordic,
from the Huanggoshu waterfall to the deep fjord in Geiranger, from
the sand lakes of Ningxia to the geysirs in Iceland, from the city of
Yangshou to the thousand lakes of Finland. Inspired by the imperial
gardens in the forbidden city, the teracotta warriors of Xi`an and
skyscrapers in Shanghai. Excited by the Northern lights, the Pulpil
rock in Lysefjord and “Gamla stan” in Stockholm. �
�
This event is a fusion and a celebration, a celebration of history,
nature, people and our exciting future. This celebration brings two
regions together, the great country of China and the Nordic. Two
regions with plenty differences but with essential similarities.
Similarities which more than often are drowned because of lack of
communication, preconceived attitudes and ignorance. �
�
China and the Nordic has a shared legacy of craftsmanship,
craftsmanship based on respect of nature and the quest to make
something functional and of highest quality. �

MADE IN CHINA
3. Chinese history�
Summary�
In the year 200AD Buddhism entered China, bringing with it the idea of
sitting upon a raised platform like Buddha, instead of just mats. This led
to one of the first Chinese versions of the chair. �
�
During the Tang dynasty (618-907) more furniture started to appear
more prominently. In this period evidence from the early versions of the
round and yoke back chairs, generally used by the elite, are found. During
the next two dynasties the use of various types of furniture like the
chairs, bench's and stools was common throughout the Chinese dynasty�
�
During the Ming and Qing dynasty (1368-1912) previous bans on imports
where lifted, allowing larger quantities and varieties of woods to flood in
from different parts of Asia. The use of more dense wood led to finer
work, including more elaborate joinery. This was the peak of Chinese
craftsmanship. �
MADE IN CHINA
4. Nordic history�
Summary�
The Nordic history is not as long as the Chinese history. The Nordic
people live in a harsh and relentless corner of the world. A “corner” that
has provided the people with endless natural resources. Resources that
demand frugality and respect of nature to take advantage of those. This
situation challenged the Norseman to be capable craftsmen. A challenge
that led them to be rulers of the sea in the Viking era. �
�
Nordic design is today regarded as being fairly minimalistic, with clean
simple lines. The style is efficient without the need of heavy elements;
only what we need is used. Survival in the north requires products to be
functional, and this was the basis of design from early on. �
Nordic design is often referred to as humanistic and democratic because
of its aim to appeal to the masses through products which are accessible
and affordable. �
�
Beautiful, simple and clean, inspired by nature and the northern climate. �

5. We are in a period of time where things goes faster, buildings grows
taller and the world seems smaller. Progress is inevitable and we are
not afraid of it, but we would like to turn the spotlight on the proud
craftsmanship heritage in the great country of China and the Nordic
region. �
Progress, innovation and modern thinking is not about mocking the
past, but embracing, celebrate and be proud of our heritage.�
�
China is turning into the next super power and the last decades of
mass production has labeled China as a low quality production
country which is over shadowing the proud history of
craftsmanship. �
�
It is time to relive history. �
