El clima se define por las características de temperatura y precipitación que se repiten en un lugar a lo largo de muchos años. Los principales factores que influyen en el clima de una zona incluyen su distancia al mar, relieve y proximidad al ecuador, ya que las zonas costeras tienen temperaturas más suaves, las áreas montañosas son más frías y húmedas, y las regiones cercanas al ecuador reciben más radiación solar.

1) Modern social institutions like law encourage people to separate their multiple identities instead of allowing any one identity to define all interactions, which breaks tolerance and creates inequality.
2) Tolerance and freedom of expression are highly protected democratic rights but continue to be attacked through harsh authoritarian control. Many societies still discriminate based on attributes like race, religion, gender.
3) Building a culture of tolerance and respect for others through democratic principles that protect religious freedom can help address the intolerance that arises from being trapped in rigid belief systems. Tolerance evolves as societies become more diverse and complex.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money.

And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

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.

Understanding IT Security And Compliance Management Policies
1. Understanding IT Security and Compliance Management Policies
The modern day complex and competitive business environment has compelled the U.S state and federal agencies
to act to avert inaccurate reporting, privacy breaches, corruption and other fraudulent activities prevalent in the
industry. The increased rate of these incidents had made the government to act strict by implementing rigid
policies such as HIPAA, HITECH, ISO, PCI and many more.
With the government regulations becoming stricter today than ever, organizations are left with no option but to
make sure that all the IT compliance criteria are fulfilled. Let us have a look at some important regulations and
understand their implications.
HIPAA
Known as the Health Insurance Portability Act, (HIPAA), towards securing the health insurance coverage of
employees and their families, when they change or lose a job. The act takes into consideration the privacy and
security aspect of the patient health data, by motivating the use of electronic data interchange and improving the
health care system efficiency.
ISO
ISO, i.e. the International Organization for Standardization helps in setting up voluntary international standards to
make sure that the services and products are reliable, secure and of high quality. For businesses, it acts as a
strategic tool that enables cost reduction and maximizes productivity.
PCI DSS
PCI DSS known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is an information security regulation for
keeping a check on credit card forgery. PCI compliance is crucial for those companies that process, store and
transmit credit card data.
HITECH
HITECH, i.e. the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act was enacted in 2009 as a part
of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. HITECH takes into consideration any security and privacy concern
related to electronic transmission of health data. HIPAA and HITECH compliance are essential, keeping in mind the
increasing amount of health care frauds.
There are various compliance regulations, policies and standards that organizations are required to adhere for
averting any kind of penalties. With the help of efficient enterprise compliance management solutions,
organizations can:
Reduce financial and legal concerns through compliance
Attain greater accountability and efficient governance
Automate security, assessment, compliance, audit, risk and vendor management needs
Streamline and minimize the time needed for regulatory compliance and certification process
Therefore advanced IT security and compliance management solution with inbuilt frameworks for every security
and compliance frameworks and other allied country-specific regulations, demystify complex regulations and
standards.
