Western Balkan Countries Assessment of Capacities for Low-carbon and Climate ...UNDP Eurasia
The survey assessed capacities for low-carbon and climate resilient development in Western Balkan countries. It found that while some institutional capacities are in place, further improvements are needed. Specifically:
1) Coordination of climate change policies needs strengthening, as national coordination mechanisms are not fully functional in most countries.
2) Capacities for low-carbon development and reporting on climate actions need enhancing, as few countries have submitted plans like Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions.
3) Financial and human resources for climate actions are lacking, posing a key barrier to implementation. Monitoring and evaluation systems also need strengthening.
The survey concludes regional cooperation could help address gaps, but performance of existing mechanisms needs improving based on

It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
This document summarizes the findings from a capacity assessment of climate change adaptation in Tajikistan. It identifies several key findings: 1) The government is funding climate work but could better prioritize and publicize efforts. 2) Tajikistan would benefit from a National Climate Change Action Plan and updated legislation. 3) Public awareness of climate change is growing but targeted information is still needed. 4) Stakeholders want diverse capacity building opportunities. 5) Climate change education has multiple goals that need addressing. 6) NGOs should be leveraged more in capacity building activities. The document provides recommendations for each finding to strengthen climate adaptation capacity at national and local levels in Tajikistan.

EIA is a process used to identify and evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or developments. It began in the late 1960s and has since spread to over 100 countries. The goal of EIA is to inform decision-making and promote sustainable development. It examines a project's environmental, social, health, and economic effects to improve design, mitigate impacts, and facilitate sustainable choices. While EIA initially focused on biophysical impacts, the trend is toward more integrated assessments. Sustainable development and EIA aim to meet needs without compromising future generations by reducing environmental burdens from development.

This document summarizes the outcomes of a program that used participatory scenario development (PSD) workshops to build capacity on climate change issues in Tajikistan. The workshops engaged 124 stakeholders across 5 cities to identify climate impacts, adaptation needs, and priorities. Participants saw communities as having low adaptive capacity due to challenges like limited basic services, agriculture difficulties, and natural hazards exacerbated by climate change. They suggested a range of adaptation actions focused on infrastructure, ecosystems, capacity building, and protecting vulnerable groups. Key recommendations included developing a national climate strategy, coordinating agencies, investing in local governments, and ensuring synergies between climate adaptation and development goals. Infrastructure improvements, ecosystem-based measures, and continued capacity building were seen as important for
This document outlines the agenda for a National Project Workshop on January 25, 2012 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

The document summarizes a participatory scenario development workshop held in Tajikistan to build capacity on climate change impacts and identify adaptation needs. The workshop brought together stakeholders from different regions to discuss observed and projected climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and potential adaptation options. Many of the identified local adaptation needs were found to align with priorities in Tajikistan's national climate adaptation plan. However, larger-scale and additional actions are still needed to improve adaptive capacity. The workshop helped strengthen collaboration between local and regional actors and identify next steps to further assess climate risks and integrate adaptation into development planning.
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.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
