The document summarizes a study that explored how students used shared artifacts in a virtual environment to organize and practice virtual project management skills. It investigated a course where students collaborated virtually to develop projects for a client. Data was collected from the shared workspace and student interviews. The analysis found that students primarily used the virtual tools for sharing and reviewing literature, creating intermediate content, revising final content, defining tasks and responsibilities, and sharing operational information. Some students noted they would have preferred alternative collaboration tools.
Dispersion, coordination and performance in GSD: a systematic reviewAnh Nguyen Duc
This systematic review examined the impact of different dimensions of dispersion (geographical, temporal, organizational, etc.) on team coordination and performance in global software teams. The review analyzed 56 papers and identified key themes. Dispersion was found to influence coordination by impacting communication, perceptions, and task complexity. The findings on performance impact were mixed, depending on the dispersion type and unit of analysis. More research is needed on different types of dispersion and their context to better understand their influence.
In the Victorian era, doctors lacked modern medical knowledge and hospitals, resulting in many deaths from disease and infections. Treatment methods were crude, relying on practices like bloodletting, vomiting induction, herbal remedies, and prayers. Major plagues like the Black Death took many lives due to the lack of understanding of germ theory and antibiotics. By the late Victorian era, some medical advances were made with inventions like the hypodermic needle, but doctors still had limited effectiveness compared to modern times.
The document discusses problems with an existing website that is negatively impacting sales conversions and provides solutions. The main problems are that the website is boring with no colors or eye-catching elements, has difficult navigation with no overview, and provides no incentives to click through. The proposed solutions are to improve the design with attractive and intuitive navigation, a clear structure, and eye-catching refreshed elements. Additionally, the solutions aim to provide daily offers, discounts, a customer-friendly service with a hotline, and customized products to drive higher conversion rates and improved sales performance over the existing website.

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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:

2. The context of the study
o The second iteration of a research case in the
Knowledge Practice Laboratory –project
o The study explored how the shared artifacts of the
virtual environment used in the investigated
educational setting helped the student to organize
and rehearse knowledge practices of virtual project
management.

3. Investigated educational setting
o A course with title “Advanced Themes on Project
Management”
o The course was optional and was taken by 4th year students
from several different programmes including Educational
Science, Economics, Information and Service Management,
Cognitive Science and Psychology.
o The students (approximately 30) from three training
programs students were asked to develop new working and
research projects for the representatives of the Finnish Tax
Administration
o The course a practical way of learning virtual project
management practices (managing subcontracting network,
team building, dividing responsibilities , using collaboration
technology)

4. Virtual environment
o A virtual collaboration tool Knowledge Practice
Environment (KPE) developed in Knowledge Practice
Laboratory Project served as the virtual environment of
the course
o KPE has been designed to support collaborative
knowledge creation in flexible ways.
o It provides various tools and functionalities for reflective
and "object-centered" knowledge practices, such as
planning epistemic processes, producing texts and
notes, organizing collaboration of groups of people
around knowledge objects
o Three views of shared working space can be used in
organizing work on knowledge objects

6. Theoretical framework of the
study
The phenomenon of tool mediation is approached from the
perspective of its four types distinguished by Rabardel
• Epistemic
Enabling actors to create, transform and organize shared
knowledge objects
• Pragmatic
Enabling actors to plan and monitor their activities
• Social
Enabling actors to maintain contacts and mutual awareness
• Reflective
Enabling actors to reflect on and evaluate undertaken
activities

7. Purpose of the study
Research questions:_
How did a group of students participating in a
project based course setting utilized the
functionalities of the virtual environment and how
did the use mediate the epistemic practices
characterizing project based working settings ?
What kind of strengths and weaknesses of tool
mediation did the participants experience?

8. Method
Participants:
• Five students, four Economist trainees and one Psychologist
trainee working in one team.
• The team worked on the development of a survey method for
collecting data about initial attitudes towards tax-paying and
related interventional approaches for transforming these
attitudes.
Collected data:
the participants' answers to reflective questions, the content items
created by the team members, a team interview
Data analysis:
Functional classification of the used artifacts, qualitative analysis
of the content of the interviews

9. Collected data
The content-items
created by the team-
members in the shared
space of the team
Interviews of two team-
members (M 1, M 3)
based on the use of
stimulated recall-method
In the interviews the team-members were asked to tell about the
items and their purposes. In addition they were asked separately
about the a)purpose of the most frequently used item the chat-
room b) the other available tools (besides KPE) they would have
used for various purposes if they had been given a choice

10. Data-analysis: a)Creation of analytical
cateogories on the basis of the preliminary
exploration of the created items
Created seven categories for classifying the functions of the
artifacts:
1. Brainstorming/scetching;
Criterion: An item was used jointly mainly in creating ideas
or in scetching preliminary content
2. Sharing/reviewing literature
Criterion: An item was used in sharing or reviewing literature
3. Creating intermediate content
Criterion: An item was created as intermediate elaboration or
an element used as a part of final content
4. Revising final content
Criterion: An item was the version of the final content

11. Data-analysis a)
Analytical categories 5-7
5. Defining tasks and responsibilities
Criterion: An item was used mainly in defining or
allocating tasks
6. Negotiating/sharing operative information
Criterion: An item was used mainly in informing others and
sharing operative information
7. Reflecting on activities
Criterion: An item was used mainly in reflecting on
undertaken and planned activities

12. Data-analysis b) Analytical
procedure
The content items of the investigated team-space were
classified according to the analytical categories.
The interview data was split into n sequences the
duration of which ranged from 20 to 90 seconds.
The sequences were scored into the analytical categories
according to the main content of the interviewees’
descriptions
References to alternative tools were scored separately

According to M 3 the content items scored as intermediate
content were created by the members individually as their
contributions for the researh plan. M 1 commented positively on
the visibility of the relation between the documents and tasks.

17. 4. Revising final content
Jointly created scetch
of the research plan
Consecutive versions (7 word
files)) of the final research plan
Both interviewees regarded the versioning in separate uploaded files as problematic
and said that would have liked to have an opportunity to edit texts inside the items.
Google docs and WIKI were referred to as alternative tools. However M 3 stated
that a shift to the Googledocs would have been cumbersome because the team had
already scetched the reseach plan with the template (provided by the instructors
and copypastedKäyttäytymistieteiden laitosin a note/ with which it started to scetch the research

operative information (chat-item)
M1
M3
Chat –item was used in sharing instant messages (M 3)and in negotiating (M 1).
M 3 stated that checked regularly the chat item in logging into KPE to see
others’ possible messages. M 1 stated that big decisions (like research
questions) were made very quickly in chatting and longer discussions would
have been necessary. M 1 suggested the use of virtual meeting tools to others.
M 3 mentioned Facebook as an nimi /

21. Discussion
o The findings indicate that the tool mediation was
realized by means of both technical and cultural
tools that the investigated team was provided with
o Such cultural tools as the templates and the phase
structure of project work provided by the instructor
functioned as action templates (Stetsenko ) that
higlihted some content specific practices and related
use of technology

Esityksen nimi www.helsinki.fi/yliopisto 19.12.2011 21
22. Discussion: Usage of the
functionalities and tool mediation
o Epistemic mediation was realized through
using the note editor and project plan template in
brainstorming initial ideas of the project and in schetching
the project plan
reviewing literature with note editor and sharing research
papers in the content view
sharing the intermediate content created by the team
members with Power point and Word in the content view
sharing the subsequent versions of the research plan
created by team members with Word in the content view

Esityksen nimi www.helsinki.fi/yliopisto 19.12.2011 22
23. Discussion: Usage of the functionalities and
tool mediation
o Pragmatic mediation was realized through
creating task items partially according to the process model
provided by the instructors
deviding responsibilities to team-members in task allocation
notes
linking the content items (for instance created intermediate
content and research papers) to the tasks that they were
related to
o Social mediation was realized through
Using regularly the chatting item
o Reflective mediation was realized through
answering to the reflective Scrum-questions to accumulate
the weekly content of the project management diary

24. Discussion: Perceived strengths
and weaknesses of tool mediation
The opportunity to visually explicate the relation
between the tasks and documents (epistemic and
pragmatic mediation by means of the technical tool)
was regarded as useful feature
The KPE was viewed to support particularly the task
management (pragmatic mediation by means of
technical tool)
Käyttäytymistieteiden laitos / Henkilön nimi /
Esityksen nimi www.helsinki.fi/yliopisto 19.12.2011 24
25. Discussion: Perceived strengths
and weaknesses of tool mediation
The technical tools (notes and separate word-files used in
the development of research plan) did not provide sufficient
mediatory continuity for the process through which the
initially brainstormed ideas were converted into the research
plan. (Epistemic mediation by means of technical tool)
The process model of project work should have been more
clearly pre-stuctured in the environment (Pragmatic
mediation by means of cultural tools )
Chatting tool did not sufficiently afford the team members
engagement on dicussions on the encountered problems
and challenged that required thorough reflections (Social
mediation by means of technical tool)
