What is the Agile Manifesto Software Development?

The World Bank's latest annual report describes the year 2022 as one of "uncertainty", citing a "convergence of crises". Climate change, galloping inflation, disruption of supply chains, military conflicts... Worldwide, 733 million people continue to live without electricity. This figure is still expected to be 670 million by 2030 - 10 million more than the previous estimate.

What if this state of constant world instability and fragility were to become the new normal? Is instability stabilising? The old VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) model, long used to describe the volatility of economic markets, no longer seems to adequately describe the current situation. Fragile and often anxiety-provoking, the modern world has become BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible) - and those stakeholders quickest to adapt will be rewarded.

Cascading and intertwined global crises
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 7 calls for universal access to reliable, sustainable and modern energy services by 2030 . An ambitious target, to say the least, given the many upheavals shaking the world.

BANI vs. VUCA: How Leadership Works in the World of Tomorrow
October 24, 2022
How to use the BANI model for your business

The world is on the move. Nothing is the same anymore. The VUCA model, which describes our world today, has had its day. It is being replaced by a new model: BANI. What does BANI mean? And what are the differences to the VUCA world? Barbara Stöttinger, Dean of the WU Executive Academy, explains the BANI model and shows you how you can use it for your business.

Pick Popular Phones: Figure out which phones most people use and focus on testing your app on those.

Use Fake Phones: You can use computer programs that act like different phones to test your app without needing the actual devices.

Try Real Phones: Test your app on actual phones to make sure everything looks and works right.

Make Sure Everything Fits: Check that your app's design adjusts properly to fit on screens of different sizes. You don't want things to look weird or cut off.

Make Sure It Works Right: Test all the features of your app to make sure they do what they're supposed to on different phones.

Check If It's Fast: See if your app runs smoothly and doesn't drain the phone's battery too quickly, no matter what kind of phone it's on.

Make Sure It Works with Different Phone Systems: Test your app on different versions of Android and iOS to make sure it works on all of them.

Test It with Bad Internet: Try using your app on slow or spotty internet connections to make sure it still works okay.

Check It in Different Languages: Test your app with different languages and writing styles to make sure everything looks right.

Make Sure It's Easy to Use: See if people who aren't familiar with your app can figure out how to use it without any problems.

Make Sure Everyone Can Use It: Check if your app is accessible for people who might have trouble seeing or hearing things on their phones.

Keep Testing as You Make Changes: Every time you update your app, test it again to make sure you didn't accidentally break anything.

Ask People to Try It: Get feedback from real users to see if there are any problems or things that could be better.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are ubiquitous, well adapted to their host and cleverly sequestered away from immune responses. HPV infections can be productive, subclinical or latent in both skin and mucosa. The causal association of HPV with cervical cancer, and increasingly with rising numbers of squamous cell carcinomas at other sites in both men and women, is increasingly recognised, while the morbidity of cutaneous HPV lesions, particularly in the immunosuppressed population is also significant. This chapter sets out the range of infections and clinical manifestations of the consequences of infection and its persistence and describes why HPVs are both highly effective pathogens and carcinogens, challenging to eliminate.
