This document summarizes a key symposium on online positive psychology. It includes summaries of presentations on designing positive technology for well-being, using technology for individualized positive interventions, and an app to enhance resilience in breast cancer patients. It also summarizes the evidence base for online positive psychological interventions. While some studies found increases in well-being and decreases in depression, effect sizes were small and adherence was low. Future research opportunities include improving designs, exploring blended models of online and in-person interventions, and conducting implementation research to increase the reach of positive psychology.
The document discusses the Data Science for Social Good fellowship program. It provides an overview of the program which trains students in data science while helping agencies and solving social problems.

Talk at INFN CCR Workshop on "Quantum Computing Simulation on FPGA"Mirko Mariotti
油
Since 2017 we started R&D on co-designing (HW/SW) computational systems, targeting mainly FPGAs. We developed over the years several solutions for computational acceleration on FPGAs, including, but not limited to, the creation of a full framework for building FPGA-based modular architectures, namely the BondMachine project.
The problems addressed by these solutions range from the standard application to the complex neural network inference with a reduced precision. We can analyze the performance of the developed solutions in terms of speedup, latency, and power consumption.
In this talk, we will present the activities of the last year, focusing on how we are using the developed framework and the acquired know-how to create a FPGA-based quantum computer simulator: bmqsim.
bmqsim is a simulator for quantum circuits running on FPGAs. It can produce several target beckends, same based on the BondMachine framework, others based on different High Level Synthesis tools.
