Rural areas have low population densities and consist mostly of undeveloped land used for farming. Urban areas have higher population densities, more buildings and infrastructure like roads and railways, and land is used more for commercial and industrial activities. Rural-urban migration is the movement of people from rural to urban areas due to "push" factors like lack of jobs in rural areas and "pull" factors like availability of jobs and amenities in cities. This migration causes problems like overcrowding and pollution in cities as well as rural depopulation as working-age people leave for opportunities elsewhere.
Wide gap between rural and urban areas of PakistanSyed Hamza
There is a wide gap between rural and urban areas of Pakistan. Rural areas lack proper infrastructure like schools, hospitals, and markets. Most rural residents are farmers and live in basic houses using local materials. In contrast, urban areas have well-developed infrastructure and access to education and jobs. However, urban areas face issues like pollution and traffic. While rural residents have a simpler lifestyle, urban youth follow new trends in fashion and spending. Overall, both areas have advantages and disadvantages depending on individual needs and goals.
Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas. In the Caribbean, this process has led to high population densities in major cities and issues with over-urbanization. Common causes of unplanned urbanization include natural population increase, migration for economic opportunities and education, and declining importance of agriculture. Key consequences are scarcity of basic necessities resulting in slums and overcrowding, unemployment exceeding available jobs, and increased social issues like crime, violence, and segregation.
Urbanisation in India refers to the increasing concentration of population in cities and towns. It is driven by industrialization and modernization of agriculture which provide work, as well as improvements to transportation, communication, education, and other services that attract rural migrants. The effects of urbanisation include a decline in traditional social controls as people focus more on themselves, increased incidents of crime, broken family systems, and the rise of slums in large towns.
Urbanization refers to the migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of jobs, opportunities, and improved living conditions for their families. People are pulled to cities by the availability of infrastructure, jobs, education, healthcare and entertainment. They are pushed from rural areas due to lack of these resources and facilities. However, rapid urbanization leads to problems like overcrowding, unemployment, increased crime rates, pollution, and the development of slums. These issues can be addressed by controlling urban population growth and developing rural communities and infrastructure to discourage migration.
Difference between rural and urban societyBilal Muhammad
The document discusses the differences between rural and urban societies. Rural societies began with the domestication of animals and agriculture around 20,000 BC and are characterized by small populations, close contact with nature, agriculture-based occupations, and influence from natural phenomena. Urban societies emerged later during the Industrial Revolution due to technological developments and trading. They have very large populations, isolation from nature, a wide range of occupational choices, and polluted environments. Managing the rural-urban interface is important to balance resources and migration between the two societies.
Urbanization refers to the increasing proportion of people living in cities and urban areas. It is closely connected to industrialization.

The document discusses various urban processes that shape urban change, including rural-to-urban migration, natural change, suburbanization, counter-urbanization, and re-urbanization. People migrate to cities for opportunities but urbanization creates problems like congestion and lack of space that drive suburbanization and satellite settlement on the outskirts. As those areas grow, problems reemerge, leading some people to return to inner city brownfield sites redeveloped through re-urbanization. The document uses Bratislava as a case study to analyze these trends.
Rural-urban migration is increasing urbanization globally. People migrate from rural to urban areas due to push factors in rural areas like lack of jobs, poverty, and poor infrastructure as well as pull factors of the city like more jobs and economic opportunities, improved standards of living, and access to services. Urbanization grew rapidly in now-developed countries during industrialization as people moved to cities for factory and mine jobs. In poorer countries today, high fertility rates and natural increase in cities also contribute to urban growth, as do cities being centers of industry and opportunity.

Internal migration patterns in the UK since 1980 have included movements from northern to southern regions, rural to urban areas, and inner to outer city areas. The north experienced economic decline as industries like coal, steel, and shipbuilding collapsed, resulting in unemployment, while the southeast saw economic growth in services. Younger families and higher-income groups moved to rural areas seeking more space and amenities, aided by technological changes. Suburbanization also occurred as people moved from inner cities with issues like pollution and crime to outer areas with newer housing and services. Both trends had benefits and disadvantages for receiving and losing areas.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
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.
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.

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.
