Forum Economique Mondial: Rapport Global sur la Competitivite 2012-13Stanley Lucas
The Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Network, with its annual Global Competitiveness Reports, and other topical and regional reports, offers a structured, systematic and comprehensive approach to identifying and measuring the drivers of economic performance of more than 140 economies. The Network’s portfolio of reports provides unique insight and data to inform strategies and constructive discussions among policy-makers, business leaders and civil society, while also providing material for independent academic research.
The Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Network works with leading academics to ensure that the latest thinking and research on competitiveness are incorporated into its work. It collaborates with its network of more than 160 Partner Institutes to disseminate the findings of its research at national and regional levels.
The Global Competitiveness Report 2012–2013FUSADES
The Global Competitiveness Report 2012–2013 is being
released amid a long period of economic uncertainty.
The tentative recovery that seemed to be gaining ground
during 2010 and the first half of 2011 has given way
to renewed concerns. The global economy faces a
number of significant and interrelated challenges that
could hamper a genuine upturn after an economic crisis
half a decade long in much of the world, especially
in the most advanced economies. The persisting
financial difficulties in the periphery of the euro zone
have led to a long-lasting and unresolved sovereign
debt crisis that has now reached the boiling point. The
possibility of Greece and perhaps other countries leaving
the euro is now a distinct prospect, with potentially
devastating consequences for the region and beyond.
This development is coupled with the risk of a weak
recovery in several other advanced economies outside
of Europe—notably in the United States, where political
gridlock on fiscal tightening could dampen the growth
outlook. Furthermore, given the expected slowdown in
economic growth in China, India, and other emerging markets, reinforced by a potential decline in global trade
and volatile capital flows, it is not clear which regions
can drive growth and employment creation in the short
to medium term.

Diseño y construcción de objetos interactivos digitalesFernando Bordignon
En Diseño y construcción de objetos interactivos digitales se describe a Arduino, una plataforma de software y hardware libre, como la “arcilla electrónica” con la que estudiantes y artistas están fabricando los objetos del futuro: desde robots o equipos de riego automático para huertas escolares, a sistemas de iluminación inteligente, estaciones meteorológicas hogareñas, instrumentos musicales novedosos o adaptaciones vernáculas de artefactos industriales.
Esta secuencia didáctica, acompañada por una introducción teórica en torno a los hitos de la revolución digital y la alfabetización tecnológica, aspira a que traspasemos la frontera del consumidor de tecnología para convertirnos en creadores. Para ello, en este libro se detalla paso a paso cómo fabricar con la plataforma Arduino, y una buena dosis de ingenio, objetos como un semáforo, un minipiano, un dado digital e incluso un vampiro mecánico.
La apuesta de este volumen de la colección Herramientas se centra en fortalecer una cultura del aprendizaje que disuelva las distinciones entre formación profesional y académica, así como entre la enseñanza y el juego. Con este libro también se busca participar en la educación de un ciudadano capaz de escaparles a los usos de la tecnología guionados por las corporaciones, mediante la creación de objetos digitales que respondan a su propia imaginación y a las necesidades de su comunidad.
VOYAGES & TOURISME: RAPPORT MONDIAL 2013 SUR LA COMPETITIVITEStanley Lucas
Le rapport fournit un éclairage intéressant sur la manière dont les pays encouragent le développement du secteur du voyage et du tourisme, il offre également une vue instantanée de la santé du secteur et de son rôle moteur dans la croissance économique mondiale. D`ailleurs, les emplois dans ce secteur représentent en moyenne 1 emploi sur 11. Le rapport souligne également que le secteur s`est montré résilient pendant le ralentissement, une preuve que le secteur du voyage et du tourisme peut être un facteur clé de diversification pour les marchés émergeants en leur offrant une valeur économique plus élevé.
From the website: http://www.weforum.org
The 2013 Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) reveals that Switzerland, Germany and Austria lead the world in terms of travel and tourism competitiveness, with Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Canada, Sweden and Singapore completing the top 10.
Tourism competitiveness is an important economic indicator. It is a major element in economic stimulation packages. Tourism is among the largest employers in most countries and also a fast-lane vehicle into the workforce for young people and women. Encouraging travel boosts consumer and business confidence, it strengthens two-way trade and promotes export income.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige 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:
