This document analyzes economic trends in Mongolia from 2010-2019 using GDP, employment, and average wage data from the country's National Statistical Organization. It finds that while livestock and retail industries remain important, employment is shifting to construction, finance, and processing. Average wages have grown the most in construction, ICT, and processing industries, with mining wages being twice as high. The document also examines regional economic specialization through a location quotient analysis for 2009 and 2019, finding that specialization has remained steady in mining areas but declined elsewhere, such as in Darkhan. This decline may be partly due to internal migration driving urbanization toward Ulaanbaatar and a lack of developed regional supply chains.
Cambodia's economic growth path and competitivenessTCI Network
Cambodia experienced robust economic growth over the past two decades thanks to sound macroeconomic policies that attracted investment. However, total factor productivity has moderated and competitiveness has eroded as wages have risen. While investment continues to support growth, employment growth has slowed as the agriculture sector sheds jobs. The economy contracted in 2020 due to the pandemic but is projected to recover in 2021, though sustaining growth will require improving competitiveness through diversification.
Mr. Peang Ratana is a freelance researcher and lecturer who has taught at several universities in Cambodia. He discusses how digital tools like Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, Google Meet, Slido, Facebook Live, Telegram, and Messenger can be used for eLearning and distance education. These platforms allow for online surveys, interactive question and answer sessions, video conferencing, live streaming, and messaging. Kahoot is also mentioned as a game-based learning platform that brings engagement to online education.
The document discusses the Philippine FinTech landscape.

While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
