This book features research presented and discussed during the Research & Innovation Forum (Rii Forum) 2023. As such, this book offers a unique insight into emerging topics, issues and developments pertinent to the fields of technology, innovation and education and their social impact. Papers included in this book apply inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to query such issues as technology-enhanced teaching and learning, smart cities, information systems, cognitive computing and social networking. What brings these threads of the discussion together is the question of how advances in computer science¿which are otherwise largely incomprehensible to researchers from other fields¿can be effectively translated and capitalized on so as to make them beneficial for society as a whole. In this context, Rii Forum and Rii Forum proceedings offer an essential venue where diverse stakeholders, including academics, the think tank sector and decision-makers, can engage in a meaningful dialogue with a view to improving the applicability of advances in computer science.

In the rapidly evolving world of software development and deployment, the integration of modern DevOps tools with traditional computing platforms, like mainframes, has become increasingly vital. This book, "How to Harness the Power of Jenkins on Mainframes: A Comprehensive Guide," is crafted to bridge the gap between cutting-edge automation practices and the robust, time-tested mainframe systems that underpin much of the global IT infrastructure.The aim of this book is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to provide readers with a thorough understanding of Jenkins, a leading automation server, and its application in the unique environment of mainframes. Secondly, the book focuses on practical, real-world implementations, eschewing abstract theories in favor of actionable guidance, illustrated with examples from successful deployments in diverse industries.Our journey begins with an introduction to Jenkins and mainframes, explaining their individual significance and the synergies of their combination. We then delve into the prerequisites and requirements necessary for implementing Jenkins in a mainframe environment, ensuring that even readers new to either Jenkins or mainframes can confidently navigate this terrain.Subsequent chapters deal with setting up and configuring the environment, detailing the steps to prepare both Jenkins and the mainframe for seamless integration. We address job configuration, advanced features, and provide strategies for monitoring, maintenance, and optimization, all tailored specifically for mainframe applications.In lieu of detailed case studies, which often delve into specifics that may not be broadly applicable, we present examples of successful implementations. These examples, drawn from various sectors, demonstrate the versatility and efficiency gains achievable through the integration of Jenkins with mainframes.As technology continues to advance, understanding how to effectively utilize tools like Jenkins in a mainframe context will become increasingly crucial. Whether you are a seasoned professional seeking to update your skills or a newcomer eager to explore the intersection of modern DevOps and traditional computing, this book is designed to be your guide through the fascinating world of Jenkins on mainframes.

Mit ihrem Buch Fragile as Glass präsentiert Sitara Thalia Ambrosio einen einfühlsamen und aufrüttelnden fotografischen Essay, der die Schicksale verschiedener queerer Menschen in der Ukraine dokumentiert. Das Langzeitprojekt schafft Raum für Bilder und Gedanken, die in Krisen- und Kriegszeiten zunehmend ins Hintertreffen geraten.Seit dem Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine am 24. Februar 2022 ist die mit dem Euromaidan eingeleitete politische und gesellschaftliche Reformation des Landes auf dem Prüfstand.

For many years, I went by the name Antoni Muldoon and worked as a professional con artist. I must have stolen more than £100 million from diligent individuals overall. I lost nearly everything I had accumulated when I was inevitably discovered for my crimes and sent to prison. One thing I kept was my awareness of the various con games that con people out of their money on a regular basis. I made the decision to utilise my knowledge to help others avoid falling for the same kinds of scams that I used to run. I'm calling this series of books on various scams the Scam Busters Series, and this one is the first in the series. Every book will walk you through a distinct fraud, so regardless of whether you have been duped This is the first book in the series, and perhaps you will enjoy it and find it helpful if you have ever fallen into the timeshare trap or are about to fall into it.In the inaugural installment of the Scam Busters series, Antoni Muldoon shares his insider knowledge of timeshare frauds. He makes note of what to watch out for and what not to do. This will come in handy should you ever fall victim to a timeshare scam.
