Why patients blog and don't tell their doctors

Shirley Williams

The document summarizes reasons why patients blog about their health conditions and reasons they may not share their blogs with their doctors. It notes that over 40% of patient bloggers share their blogs with healthcare providers, while 90% share with friends and family. Patients blog for reasons such as having a story to tell, needing an outlet, regaining a sense of inclusion and purpose, connecting with others, and managing their situation. However, patients may not share their blogs with doctors because they do not want their writing discounted, to feel invisible, shamed, or have their feelings "clinicalized" by clinicians.

Alzheimer's Disease in North America is a growing concern. In fact as our population age, dementia is a growing concern globally. As an Alzheimer's care partner myself, I have been doing a lot of research on both the implications to our society and caring for a patient with the disease. As a result, I prepared this "Alzheimer's Disease in North America" infographic to give a snapshot or quick reference of the disease and a summary of what to expect as both a patient and care partner or giver. I prepared this for my family as a quick resource. I share this with you or others who are also having to take this journey.

Today's Consumers

Shirley Williams

Today's consumers, or "COMsumers", are internet-savvy, social, and value their online networks and communities. They conduct research, make comparisons, and seek recommendations from friends before making purchasing decisions. COMsumers demand transparency, authenticity, and commitment from brands. They expect two-way communication and will collaborate with companies to develop desired products and services. If brands provide a positive customer experience and engage on social media, COMsumers will become loyal advocates.

Time is Life. Life is Time

Shirley Williams

Have you ever thought about how you are using your time? At the end of the day we have a finite time to live on this earth. Our clock starts counting down as soon as we are born. If we did the calculations, would the numbers reflect our intent? As we review the world’s statistics on human life expectancy, the world average life span is 68 years. The longest average life expectancy is in Japan with an average life-span of 83 years. How do we, in North America, compare to that number. Well, we are better than the world average but surprisingly we are not in the top 10. Canada ranks #11 with a life expectancy of 82 years; US ranks at #40 with an expectancy of 79 years.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige 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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
