Integrating Gender in Policy Research and OutreachIFPRI-PIM
There is growing recognition of the importance of gender issues in policy and research. Gender equality is recognized as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, and is key to achieving most of the other goals as well. Yet it is often not clear what this means, in practice, or what kinds of knowledge and interventions are needed to contribute to these goals.
In this webinar, IFPRI researchers Ruth Meinzen-Dick and Elizabeth Bryan discuss key gender issues and entry points for policy research and outreach, focusing on processes for integrating gender into each stage of the research process, including priority setting, research design, methodologies, conduct of research, and communications for impact.

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).

It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Some gender concepts
1. Some gender concepts
Jemimah Njuki
Team Leader: Poverty, Gender and Impact
FAO-ILRI Workshop on Integrating Gender in Livestock Projects and Programs,
ILRI, Addis Ababa, 22-25 November 2011
2. Key Concepts
Gender
• Refers to the socially constructed roles and status of
women and men, girls and boys. It is a set of
culturally specific characteristics defining the social
behaviour of women and men, boys and girls, and
the relationships between them.
• Gender roles, status and relations vary according to
place (countries, regions, and villages), groups (class,
ethnic, religious, caste), generations and stages of
the lifecycle of individuals.
• Gender is, thus, not about women but about the
relationship between women and men.
3. Gender equality
• Entails the concept that all human beings, both men
and women, are free to develop their personal
abilities and make choices without the limitations
set by stereotypes, rigid gender roles, or prejudices.
• Gender equality means that the different
behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and
men are considered, valued and favoured equally.
• It does not mean that women and men have to
become the same, but that their rights,
responsibilities and opportunities will not depend
on whether they are born male or female.
4. Gender equity
• Means fairness of treatment for women and
men, according to their respective needs.
• This may include equal treatment or treatment
that is different but considered equivalent in
terms of rights, benefits, obligations and
opportunities.
• In the development context, a gender equity
goal often requires built-in measures to
compensate for the historical and social
disadvantages of women.
5. Gender analysis
• Is a tool /set of tools to assist in strengthening development
planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and
to make programmes and projects more efficient and
relevant.
• Gender analysis should go beyond cataloguing differences
to identifying inequalities and assessing relationships
between women and men.
• Gender analysis helps us to frame questions about women
and men's roles and relations in order to avoid making
assumptions about who does what, when and why.
• The aim of such analysis is to formulate development
interventions that are better targeted to meet both
women's and men's needs and constraints.
6. Empowerment
• Implies people – both women and men – taking
control over their lives by setting their own
agendas, gaining skills (or having their own skills
and knowledge recognized), increasing their self-
confidence, solving problems, and developing
self-reliance.
• It is both a process and an outcome.
• Empowerment implies an expansion in women's
ability to make strategic life choices in a context
where this ability was previously denied to them.
7. Gender mainstreaming
• Is a strategy for making women's, as well
as men's, concerns and experiences an
integral dimension in the design,
implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of policies and programmes in
all political, economic and social spheres so
that women and men benefit equally and
inequality is not perpetuated.
• The ultimate goal is to achieve gender
equality
8. Approaches
• Gender-neutral approaches do not account for the
differences between women and men and do not consider
how women and men may be marginalized and harmed or
may not benefit from research, programs and policy.
• Gender aware (or responsive) approaches are designed to
meet both women’s and men’s needs. These approaches
ensure that both women and men will benefit, and neither
will be harmed by research, programs and policy, such as,
for example, by exacerbating their work burdens.
• Gender transformative approaches actively strive to
examine, question, and change rigid gender norms and the
imbalance of power as a means of achieving development
goals as well as meeting gender equity objectives. These
research, programmatic and policy approaches challenge
the distribution of resources and allocation of duties
between men and women.
9. Why Gender: The Business Case for Gender
Mainstreaming
• Consistent gender disparities in access to
and benefits from technologies, services
and inputs across developing countries.
• Participation in and benefits from
markets: Low female membership in
agricultural marketing cooperatives, lack
of important information on prices for
marketing systems etc.
• Men and women are impacted differently
by technologies, interventions and other
emerging threats such as climate change,
HIV/AIDs on women.
• Focus on gender can increase the
productivity of agriculture and livestock
systems, and improve food security and
nutrition.
10. The Business Case for Gender Mainstreaming
• Findings have shown the importance of
the explicit focus on gender in promoting
household poverty reduction.
• Meaningful representation in both men
and women decision making and policy
bodies, in management positions, in
research and development is an
important component of reducing gender
inequalities.
• The participation of men and women in
agriculture research and development
leads to better decision outcomes, better
performance, creativity and innovation
and this has been shown in a variety of
settings, occupations, and organizations
(Pelled et al, 1999; Hamilton et al, 2003).
11. The potential gains from reducing gender disparities
• If women had the same resources as men, they could increase
yields on their farms by 20-30%
– raise agricultural output by 2.5-4% and reduce hungry people
by 100-150 million (FAO, 2011)
• There is evidence that income under the control of women is more
likely to be used to improve family welfare
– women spend upto 90% of their income on their families,
while men spend 30-40%
– strengthening marital bargaining power and "voice" within the
household decision-making
Extent of gender mainstreaming /integration in agriculture
research and development programs remains adhoc
– There is no evidence on what potential entry points bring the
most benefits or catalyse change
