Degrowing urban japan: From vacant lots to biocultural cityscapes
Japan frequently features as a prime example of (involuntary) degrowth. With severe depopulation of about 15% projected for the next 25 years, degrowth seems inevitable rather than utopian, frantic attempts by the Japanese government to boost growth notwithstanding. This trend is strongest in rural areas, but large cities such as Osaka, Kyoto or Sapporo are also expected to shrink by more than 10%. Yet in transitioning to sustainable, non-growth-based lifestyles, rural and coastal Japanese communities are reviving traditional models of landscape stewardship (satoyama and satoumi) that have no urban counterparts.
In this paper, I attempt to envision how such a counterpart for Japanese cities could look like. For this purpose, I draw upon characteristics of the traditional rural models such as biocultural diversity to combine them with key degrowth concepts and recent advances in urban green infrastructure. In particular, I examine what role the vacant lots and other informal green spaces of shrinking cities might play in realizing what Peter Matanle has termed the ‘depopulation dividend’. The aim is an urban landscape stewardship model (satomachi, derived from the Japanese characters for “arable land, home land” and “town, suburb”) that supports both human and non-human livelihood with a high quality of life as well as a functional, diverse ecosystem.
Earth Hour Brief Presentation
Earth Hour is an annual event where people in cities and towns around the world turn off their lights for one hour to raise awareness of environmental issues. In 2012, a record 6,950 cities and towns in 152 countries participated. The document encourages participation in Earth Hour 2013 on March 23rd by having people switch off their lights from 8:30-9:30PM to come together globally behind saving the planet and address the critical challenges it faces.
What the world needs now from the environmental movement
The document discusses the challenges facing the environmental movement and what it needs to do to address today's interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and social injustice. It argues the movement needs to adopt a more realistic optimism, speak truth to power through principled civil disobedience, take an intersectional approach that humanizes the environment, broaden its constituency beyond privileged groups, engage more effectively with business, and act now without delay to align ecology, economy, and equity. The overarching message is that the environmental movement must consolidate and think beyond existing frameworks to rise to this critical moment.
The climate change and the sick system
The Climate Change is Real if you go out and Check the Temperature in the summer you will get the Climate change.so whats stopping the Climate Change Reversing Process.money and the Rules and Regulations we built. so this Government has to be Changed and its has to be RE Engineered and it has be freed from the Bankers and the Illuminatis who control the Corporate and the Banking and Media.

The document discusses Earth's hydrosphere and water pollution. It begins by explaining theories about the formation of Earth's hydrosphere and how much of Earth's water originated from comets and asteroids. It then discusses the history of ice ages and the current ice age. It also discusses Europa's subsurface ocean and the water cycle, how water circulates through evaporation and precipitation. It ends by explaining the sources and impacts of water pollution, including groundwater pollution and the causes of water pollution like chemicals, pathogens, and temperature changes.
Our earth is mostly water
- The Earth has just the right conditions to support liquid water, which covers 70% of the planet's surface and is essential for life. Water is constantly circulating between the oceans, atmosphere, and land in the water cycle.
- In the water cycle, energy from the sun evaporates water from oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor condenses into clouds and falls as precipitation. Precipitation returns to bodies of water, soaking into the ground as groundwater, or running over land as surface water back into oceans, restarting the cycle.
Power point presentation
The document discusses the Earth's hydrosphere and water pollution. It defines the hydrosphere as including all liquid and frozen surface waters, groundwater, and atmospheric water vapor. It notes that the hydrosphere regulates the distribution of fresh water on Earth through the water cycle and purification processes. However, it also discusses how human water pollution activities have seriously impacted the components of the hydrosphere.
Theta group project
This newsletter discusses various issues impacting the oceans including the costs of recreational fishing, excessive consumerism and global warming. It provides 3 actions readers can take to help save the oceans: make sustainable seafood choices, use fewer plastic products, and help take care of beaches by cleaning up trash. The newsletter encourages supporting organizations that protect the ocean and educating oneself on ocean and marine life issues.
Power point presentation
The document discusses the Earth's hydrosphere and water pollution. It begins by explaining theories about the formation of Earth's hydrosphere and ice ages. It then discusses the water cycle and components that make up the hydrosphere. The document also covers different types of water pollution including groundwater pollution and concludes by emphasizing the seriousness of water pollution issues.
Lesson 2 hydrology
The document provides an overview of hydrology and the hydrological cycle. It discusses key topics like the significance of water, water availability globally, the stores and transfers of water through evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater flow. It also describes key hydrological concepts such as drainage basins, patterns of drainage, and nested basins.
Sustainable Seafood Distribution & Consultant
Fresh Blue Fish aims to be a sustainable seafood distributor and consultant serving the Bay Area. The seafood industry faces challenges of overfishing and mislabeling. There is growing demand for sustainable seafood due to health and environmental concerns. While sustainability is a rising priority for consumers and businesses, it remains a niche market with few distributors specializing in local, sustainable options. Fresh Blue Fish sees an opportunity to differentiate itself by focusing on transparency and developing trust with restaurants seeking high-quality, sustainable seafood.
The Hydrological Cycle
Presentation showing the workings of the Hydrological cycle for AS level students

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. 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.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data
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?

JavaLand 2024: Application Development Green Masterplan
My presentation slides I used at JavaLand 2024
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
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.
