The role of nurses in palliative care focuses on symptom management, especially pain management, and providing 24-hour support.

Various biochemistry lab instrumentsKusum Jain

A centrifuge uses centrifugal force to separate particles of different sizes and densities in a sample. It spins samples at high speeds in a rotor to generate centrifugal force. A urinometer measures urine specific gravity by floating in a urine sample and indicating the specific gravity level on its stem. Chromatography separates mixtures by differential partitioning as they flow through a stationary phase. Electrophoresis separates charged particles by their electrophoretic mobility under an electric field based on factors like charge, size, and shape. A colorimeter uses colorimetry principles to measure the concentration of an analyte by detecting the amount of light absorbed by its colored complex.

This document summarizes research from Nesta on data skills and talent. It finds that while "datavores" who use data extensively are still a minority, demand for data skills is growing across all companies. Productive data analysts need a mix of technical skills like analysis and computing as well as soft skills like business savvy and storytelling. However, there is a shortage of data talent as firms struggle to find people with the right combination of skills. The report recommends improving data skills in education, developing standards for data professions, and ensuring access to overseas talent to help address the shortage.

Creating a Data-Driven Organization, Data Day Texas, January 2016Carl Anderson

What does it mean for an organization to be data-driven? How does an organization get there? Many organizations think that they are data-driven but the reality is that few genuinely are and that we could all do better. In this talk, I cover what it truly means to be data driven. The answer, it turns out, is not to do with the latest tools and technologies (although they can help) but having an appropriate data culture than spans the whole organization, where data is accessible broadly, embedded into operations and processes, and enables effective decision making. In this presentation, I dissect what an effective data-driven culture entails, covering facets such as data leadership, data literacy, and A/B testing, illustrating concepts with examples from different industries as well as personal experience.

PostgreSQL as a SQL engine can accommodate a very high-transaction rate using multithreading very efficiently, but as your data grows and the number of connections and queries increases, there is a challenge for the storage to keep up with the SQL engine. To the rescue comes our hero Quicksilver, or the name in real life – NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP). Developed by Lightbits Labs in 2016 and donated to the Linux community, it is the next evaluation of using NVMe based storage over TCP Fabric. NVMe/TCP simplifies how you interact with remote NVMe devices (targets) and allows your PostgreSQL storage to consume fast storage very easily and very efficiently. In this session I will explain the core concept of the NVMe/TCP protocol, current storage providers that can use it, how you can consume it in Kubernetes (super easy), and discuss the possibilities of using NVMe/TCP in private and public clouds. The session will also include performance numbers that were gathered on bare-metal servers on-prem and on AWS, using the latest PostgreSQL version and pgbench, showing the benefit of using multiple tablespaces when dealing with speed of light storage.

stackconf 2025 | Evolving Shift Left: Integrating Observability into Modern S...NETWAYS

The concept of “Shift Left” has long guided developers to address issues early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), catching bugs before they reach production. But as modern software ecosystems become more complex—with microservices, serverless architectures, and global deployments—testing alone no longer suffices. It’s time to rethink Shift Left as more than just pre-release testing—it must evolve. Traditional testing strategies like Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) have been invaluable, ensuring code correctness and expected behaviour. However, they miss critical aspects of real-world performance, scalability, and user experience. A passing test suite can’t guarantee an application won’t crash under peak loads or degrade due to subtle performance bottlenecks. Enter observability: the missing piece in the Shift Left equation. By integrating observability practices early in the SDLC, teams gain deep, actionable insights into how applications behave in production-like environments. Metrics, traces, and logs reveal performance slowdowns, scalability constraints, and user experience hiccups long before end users are affected. This talk explores how combining testing with observability transforms Shift Left into a proactive, production-aware development practice. Attendees will learn practical strategies for evolving their SDLC by embracing observability early—shifting left not just on testing, but on operational readiness.

stackconf 2025 | Zap the Flakes! Leveraging AI to Combat Flaky Tests with CAN...NETWAYS

Flakes aka tests that don’t behave deterministically, i.e. they fail sometimes and pass sometimes, are an ever recurring problem in software development. This is especially the sad reality when running end-to-end tests where a lot of components are involved. There are various reasons why a test can be flaky, however the impact can be as fatal as CI being loaded beyond capacity causing overly long feedback cycles or even users losing trust in CI itself. Ideally CI maintainers want potential flakes to be flagged at the earliest stage of the development lifecycle, so that they do not even enter the end-to-end test suite. They want a gate that acts as a safeguard for developers, pointing out to them what kind of stability issues a test has. This reduces CI user frustration and improves trust in CI. At the same time it cuts down on unnecessary waste of CI system resources. This talk will explore the CANNIER approach, which aims to reduce the time cost of rerunning tests. The speaker and the audience will take a closer look at the feature set used to create training data from existing test code of the KubeVirt project, enabling CI systems to predict probable flakiness of a certain test with an AI model. The speaker will cover how a subset of the CANNIER feature set is implemented, how it is used to generate training data for an AI model, and how the model is used to analyze flakiness probability, generating actionable feedback for test authors. Attendees will gain insight on how the CANNIER approach can help them improve test reliability, ultimately enhancing overall software quality and team productivity.
