"This year’s Global Nutrition Report focuses on the interdependence of the SDGs, and how progress against one goal generates progress for all. Nowhere are these linkages more evident than in the food agenda. As the producers, manufacturers and retailers of most of the world’s food, business has a responsibility to help drive the food system transformation. As a progressive food company, we are
committed to helping redesign our global food and agriculture system, to give everyone access to healthy and nutritious food and diets and thereby create a brighter future for all.

GOOD NUTRITION IS THE BEDROCK OF HUMAN WELL-BEING. BEFORE BIRTH AND THROUGHOUT INFANCY, GOOD NUTRITION ALLOWS BRAIN FUNCTIONING TO evolve without impairment and immune systems to develop more robustly. For young children, good nutrition status averts death and equips the body to grow and develop to its full potential. Over the course of the human lifespan, it leads to more effective learning at school, better-nourished mothers who give birth to better-nourished children, and adults who are likelier to be productive and earn higher wages. In middle age, it gives people metabolisms that are better prepared to ward off the diseases associated with changes in diet and physical activity. Without good nutrition, people’s lives and livelihoods are built on quicksand.

Global nutrition transition and the pandemic of obesity in developing countries
Introduction:
This article is about studying the pandemic of obesity around the globe. The focus of this article looks at many views and aspects of the reasons why we are experiencing this pandemic. Years ago people did not worry or think much about obesity because they didn’t see it very often. The authors of this article pursue the change in diets in the 1970’s. Something has clearly shifted around these times because by the 1980’s it was understood that dietary quality declined, physical activity was declining and obesity was on the rise in the United States. This study shows how the pandemic is not only here at home, but how it has reached rural areas in some of the poorest countries such as Africa and South Asia.
Incentive:
The purpose of this study is to attempt to determine what changes have occurred to cause this rise of obesity. There are reasons for why we are eating the way we do, and moving less then we used to. If we can understand what key factors are playing major roles in this occurrence, then we can attempt to restore this pandemic. This article may provide information regarding future options and changes necessary to overcome this problem.
Methods:
This is a review article so the authors themselves do not use any techniques and they do not do any of the actual studies. This peer-reviewed journal article takes results and discussions from multiple previous works and combines them to show the probable shifts of the human diet. The key aspects, among many others, these authors reached at are studies done on institutional and large-scale feeding programs, education: labeling and front-of-package initiatives, regulations regarding beverages and food marketing, schools, and country-specific initiatives.
Conclusion:
The authors found major shifts in the way humans eat and drink. Major problems are coming from the consumption of processed foods, fast food restaurants, lack of education, and dramatically reduced movement/exercise. The authors see a evolution process occurring that is non beneficial. We need to evolve towards a healthier diet involving less processed food and more nutrient-dense food. Obesity, cancer, and diabetes rates are all on the climb and a big factor of that is what we put into our bodies.
Analysis:
The most important thing I took away from this article is that there differently is a change occurring around us and it comes from the decisions we make every day on what we decide to put in our bodies. I think it may be hard for some younger people to see a change happening because nothing seems new to us. We are used to the away from home meals and the easy access to fast food chains. As we get more and more educated on the topic, we begin to realize that health issues are on the rise, businesses are solely based on income rather than related health issues, and people are becoming lazy.

Communicators need to take a stand on ethical, transparent, and professional communication in a world where “alternative facts” and “fake news” have become commonplace expressions. 2017 saw one of the biggest cases of ethics in PR since the turn of the century – in the form of the Bell Pottinger scandal. The manner in which numerous global crises were handled, such as United Airlines in the US and Ford in South Africa, has highlighted the role of ethical communication and the importance of robust, transparent and timely PR in building, maintaining and enhancing reputational resilience.

The fourth industrial revolution is not about digitalization alone, but about how digital infrastructure changes our industries, our work and our societies. This change is genuinely different: this time it is exponential, polarizing and combinatorial. Our world changes fast, but our understanding is slow. Our new social dynamics and our new communication tools affect politics, finances and relationships through new media and its exponential and polarizing trends. The global power of new monopolies and the algorithms that run their businesses is the core of the new PR.

2018 is the 40th anniversary of Chinese Reform and Opening. It’s been 40 years since China opened itself to the world. In these 40 years, China´s economy have grown rapidly from no. 15 in GDP rank in 1978 to no. 2 in 2017. In these 40 years, so many events have impacted the Chinese society tremendously: in 1987, China established connection into Internet; in 2001, China joined WTO; in 2008. These events are the milestones and driving forces behind development of Chinese society, and what has driven the public's cognition, understanding and response to these events, thereby affecting and changing people's behavior and decision-making? That’s the power of communication.

A power among the emerging countries and also a nation unable to shake off political and economic instability. In the eyes of the world, Brazil oscillates between these two extremes. In a country in which crises have dominated the agenda, ensuring coherent and consistent corporate communication is particularly challenging. Natura, a company which places social and environmental impact on the same level as financial results, faces the additional challenge of communicating the value of sustainable practices as a path towards overcoming crises to its consumers and investors.
What defines a communicative organization - which factors are crucial for the development of an organization where communication creates value? The 3-year research project "Communicative Organizations" based at Lund University in partnership with the Swedish Communication Association, is and was one of the biggest applied research projects in the field of public relations and strategic communication. The main aims with the project is to increase the knowledge about the value of communication for organizations and to deliver new insights about demands and challenges for communication professionals. The empirical data was collected from eleven corporations and public organizations, such as IKEA and the Swedish Police. Differing from earlier research project in the area the empirical focus is not only in communication professionals but on managers in other areas as well as co-workers.
In a world where we are regularly over saturated with content, organisations today must ensure they weave their culture into as much of their internal communication as possible for there to be any chance of effective engagement. Unless employees genuinely believe they belong to a community of co-workers, (including and especially their leaders) who share their values and interests, chances of achieving any sort of engagement cut through will be slim. Effective internal communication must reflect those values and shine a spotlight on and give voice to those co-workers who live them.
In this era of endless content, fake news and a loss of trust, what are the risks facing ethical public relations professionals, and their clients and employers? What are the opportunities? This informative talk will focus on the present and future of technological, trending, and expanding opportunities (and potential complications) within the realm of PR, as well as how industry professionals can make the most of what's around the corner in PR and communications.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
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.
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.
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.
