The document summarizes the conclusions and way forward from a conference on the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). It finds that while implementation of CAADP has made progress, with 70% of countries signing compacts and 60% reaching later implementation stages, the impacts on agricultural growth, productivity, incomes and nutrition have been positive but could be deeper. It recommends continuing to track progress, strengthen policy support and mutual accountability between countries through tools like joint sector reviews and regional expertise, and prioritizing a "Nutrition Revolution" to put African countries on track to meet their Malabo commitments through country-led plans and regional learning. The next conference will focus on Climate Smart Agriculture.
The document summarizes the progress and achievements of the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) in its first full year of work in 2013. Key points include:

The document summarizes the gender strategy and capacity development activities of the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish. It has four key outputs: 1) Increased gender capacity within partner organizations and value chain actors; 2) Access and control of resources in livestock and fish value chains; 3) Gender transformative approaches; and 4) Gender and nutrition. For output 1 on capacity development, activities in 2013 included training manuals, workshops in multiple countries, and hiring gender staff. Plans for 2014 include more training, testing manuals, publications, and tools to conduct gender assessments and integrate gender transformative approaches into value chain work.
There are 8 common extension approaches used by organizations worldwide: general, commodity specialized, training and visit, participatory agricultural, project, farming systems development, cost sharing, and educational institution. Each has different characteristics, assumptions about farmers, purposes, planning/implementation strategies, resource requirements, implementation strategies, and measures of success. The general approach is top-down and centralized, while participatory and farming systems are more decentralized and involve farmers. Commodity specialized and training and visit approaches focus on increasing specific crop yields. The project approach concentrates resources on a small area for a limited time.

This document summarizes the objectives and approach of the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project (GAAP), a four-year research project led by IFPRI and ILRI and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project aims to evaluate eight agricultural development projects in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to identify their impacts on men's and women's assets and determine which strategies are most effective at reducing gender gaps. GAAP contributes qualitative and quantitative research to help projects assess changes in gender norms and asset disparities over time. Two main findings that emerged across projects are that gender influences participation in agricultural interventions and that such interventions can affect gendered control and ownership of assets, even without direct asset transfers.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

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).
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
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?
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.
