1) The document discusses the widespread issue of Phytophthora infestations in nursery stock across Central Europe, which is a major pathway for the spread of Phytophthora diseases to forests and ecosystems.
2) It provides evidence that Phytophthora alni, which causes root and collar rot of alders, has spread from infested nursery stock used in plantations and is responsible for dieback of riparian alder stands across rivers in Germany.
3) It also examines the role of Phytophthora pathogens like P. quercina, P. cambivora, and P. citricola in oak and European beech decline across several

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

41. Summary
104 fields in 61 nurseries were screened in Germany and Austria
• 66 fields (64%) in 49 nurseries (80%) were infested with in total
13 Phytophthora species; among them the most aggressive ones
to the respective tree species.
• 2.2 Phytophthora species per nursery
2.1 Phytophthora species per field
28 plantations of oak, beech, linden and maple were screened
• 26 plantations (93%) were infested with in total 11 Phytophthora
species; among them the most aggressive ones to the respective
tree species
• 1.7 Phytophthora species per plantation.
In Bavaria P. alni was found in 362 alder plantations <21 years
on non-flooded sites
42. General conclusions
The nurseries and the plantations <20 years are infested with the
same range of Phytophthora species which are responsible for
the widespread decline and dieback of mature stands.
Due to the widespread nursery infestations the new silvicultural
concepts of
(1) planting groups of broadleaf trees in pure conifer forests or
(2) replacing conifer forests by broadleaved or mixed forests
in order to stabilise the forests against predicted climatic changes
are highly probable to fail.
