A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
1. OEM’s invite RFQ (Request for Quote). RFQ contains mainly: Product description Drawing if available Product specification Based on the RFQ obtained the marketing department sends the commercial proposal to customer mentioning the part number, with payment terms. The documents sent along with the product are: Drawing (If the product is a current product) Product Specification Test report After the quotation is accepted by customer (Signed by both parties), a formal Purchase order (PO) is issued to WTVS. The customer code is created in the system through Finance and marketing; the data used are CST number, VAT number and PAN number and address. For domestic market there are usually two types of quotations. Ex-works price: Price (Basic price + taxes) of the component at the manufacturing site. It does not include logistics. Price based on contract (Bulk buyers, Major OEMS): The price will be quoted considering all the costs till it reaches the user end i.e. basic price +taxes +logistics. Once the PO is received the data is updated in SAP System in the following sequence Creation of customer part number against supplier part number is done by quality department/team. Updating of Price, PO number and is done by Marketing department The PO is signed by central marketing and checked for all the details Here ends the job of order obtainment, next the job is forwarded to order fulfilment team Order obtainment is done by central marketing and order fulfilment is done by Value stream (Value stream means total supply chain of production, process, marketing and delivery) Once the PO is handed over to Value stream marketing, they enter the quantity in monthly MRP (Material requirement planning) and release bar code labels. This MRP is run 7 days before the start of any month. Once MRP is run it triggers value stream purchase to arrange for raw material and child parts, Production engineering to check for production capacity, and Production to plan for number of shifts, man power etc. Accordingly assemblies are produced and packed in designated pallets or standard packing boxes (cartons). Bar code labels are pasted on the boxes mentioning part number, quantity per box, customer name, number and location. These boxes are then moved to warehouse after scanning the bar code labels. The stock is updated in SAP system as bar code labels are scanned. Depending on the stock shown in SAP invoice will be made by central marketing. If the quoted price is Ex-works, customer will arrange to pick up the material from the ware house after invoice is made. He will use his own logistics method WTVS has godowns (Pune, Pithampur, Alwar) at major OEM locations and if the quoted price is on contract basis (including logistics) then the material is loaded into trucks and is sent to godowns. WTVS chooses transport in such way that each location is operated by a particular transporter. With the field staff located at that place WTVS arrange to unload the material into godown and stock it in specified racks. Based on customer daily schedules (released previous day) the material is fed into the customer plant. In major OEM cases JIT or milk run is followed If in case WTVS don’t have godowns arrangement is made to send the truck directly to the customer plant. After in warding the material at customer place through GRN (Goods receipt note) the payment is made following specified payment terms. Payment is made either by Hundi method where WTVS receive money immediately after the GRN is raised – In this case WTVS offers them a discount of some X% or it is paid by cheque in the name of WTVS Company to the bank account.
TVS – WABCO has categorised the products in 2 different categories 1) USP (Unique selling price, Fast Moving) 2) Non-USP (Slow Moving) The 70% products are categorised in the USP and the rest 30 % product fall in the Non-USP category. Different pricelist is maintained for the above mentioned 2 categories. For the USP products the margin for the Distributor is 9-10 % and for the Non USP products the margin is 15-20 % . The Price to the dealers is fixed by the distributor in every state and the pre decided margin to the Dealer is 4-5 % for the USP products. This ensures that the distributor is getting more for parts which are slow moving. As the working capital is blocked for a long time and requires some incentive from manufacturer
Size of the territory : Each sales person is assigned with a huge territory which cannot be covered by a single staff. The company needs to rope in more staffs to cover the market exhaustively as the same sales person has to look for new product market Size of the sales target : The sales target comes along with several other criteria which they have never been able to achieve. Proximity of distributors: There are few distributors which are too close geographically like Hosur and Bangalore. There is a cartel of distributor in each state which leads to different margin charged to the next level channel member in different state. This can lead to conflict. The company should ensure the transparency in margin to be delivered to the end customer. Spurious part control The rejected part at the OEM’s end is sold to outside vendor on which TVS has no control. This leads to generation of parallel channel. However, its size is small.eg.
