Q:

Python/Pandas: create summary table

In a python pandas dataframe "df", I have the following columns:
user_id | song_id | song_duration | song_title | artist | listen_count

Many users might have listened to the same song - therefore the song is not unique in this table. I would like to create a second dataframe with just song information (with unique song_ids).
song_id | song_title | artist

I manage to create a table with song_id and song_title.
song_df = df.groupby('song_id').song_title.first()

How can I add, the column "artist" into this?
This doesn't work:
song_df = df.groupby('song_id').df['song_title','artist'].first()

AttributeError: 'DataFrameGroupBy' object has no attribute 'df'

A:

IIUC try omit .df:
df.groupby('song_id')['song_title','artist'].first()

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to high density memory devices based on phase change based memory materials, including chalcongenide based materials and other materials, and to methods for manufacturing such devices.
2. Description of Related Art
Phase change based memory materials are widely used in read-write optical disks. These materials have at least two solid phases, including for example a generally amorphous solid phase and a generally crystalline solid phase. Laser pulses are used in read-write optical disks to switch between phases and to read the optical properties of the material after the phase change.
Phase change based memory materials,like chalcogenide based materials and similar materials, also can be caused to change phase by application of electrical current at levels suitable for implementation in integrated circuits. The generally amorphous state is characterized by higher resistivity than the generally crystalline state, which can be readily sensed to indicate data. These properties have generated interest in using programmable resistive material to form nonvolatile memory circuits, which can be read and written with random access.
The change from the amorphous to the crystalline state is generally a lower current operation. The change from crystalline to amorphous, referred to as reset herein, is generally a higher current operation, which includes a short high current density pulse to melt or breakdown the crystalline structure, after which the phase change material cools quickly, quenching the phase change process allowing at least a portion of the phase change structure to stabilize in the amorphous state. It is desirable to minimize the magnitude of the reset current used to cause transition of phase change material from crystalline state to amorphous state. The magnitude of the reset current needed for reset can be reduced by reducing the size of the phase change material element in the cell and of the contact area between electrodes and the phase change material, so that higher current densities are achieved with small absolute current values through the phase change material element.
One direction of development has been toward forming small pores in an integrated circuit structure, and using small quantities of programmable resistive material to fill the small pores. Patents illustrating development toward small pores include: Ovshinsky, “Multibit Single Cell Memory Element Having Tapered Contact,” U.S. Pat. No. 5,687,112, issued Nov. 11, 1997; Zahorik et al., “Method of Making Chalogenide [sic] Memory Device,” U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,277, issued Aug. 4, 1998; Doan et al., “Controllable Ovonic Phase-Change Semiconductor Memory Device and Methods of Fabricating the Same,” U.S. Pat. No. 6,150,253, issued Nov. 21, 2000.
Problems have arisen in manufacturing such devices with very small dimensions, and with variations in process that meets tight specifications needed for large-scale memory devices. It is desirable therefore to provide a memory cell structure having small dimensions and low reset currents, and a method for manufacturing such structure that meets tight process variation specifications needed for large-scale memory devices. It is further desirable to provide a manufacturing process and a structure, which are compatible with manufacturing of peripheral circuits on the same integrated circuit.

## Lesson 1: Introduction to Phase Change Memory Devices

### Section 1: What are Phase Change Memory Devices?
 Phase change memory devices are electronic devices that use phase change materials to store data. These materials can switch between two states, generally amorphous and generally crystalline, in response to external stimuli such as heat or electric current. This allows the device to store information in the form of binary digits (0s and 1s).

### Section 2: How do Phase Change Memory Devices Work?
 Phase change memory devices work by applying electrical current to a phase change material, causing it to change from its original state to another state. The material's resistance changes depending on whether it is in an amorphous or crystalline state. When the material is in an amorphous state, it has a higher resistance than when it is in a crystalline state. By measuring the resistance of the material, we can determine whether it is in an amorphous or crystalline state and thus read the data stored in the device.

### Section 3: Applications of Phase Change Memory Devices
Phase change memory devices have several applications, including:

1. Data storage: Phase change memory devices can be used to store digital data in electronic devices such as computers and smartphones.

2. Non-volatile memory: Unlike traditional memory devices, phase change memory devices do not lose their stored data when power is removed. This makes them ideal for use in non-volatile memory applications.

3. Optical discs: Phase change memory materials are used in read-write optical disks, where laser pulses are used to switch between phases and read the optical properties of the material after the phase change.

### Section 4: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about phase change memory devices, how they work, and their applications. We also discussed the importance of phase change materials in data storage and non-volatile memory applications. By understanding the principles behind phase change memory devices, we can appreciate their significance in modern technology and their potential for future advancements.

Q:

Lightning component, dynamic component to preserve state history

I need to create a lightning component : in this component there is some fields that the user will complete, and a button. I need to get the previously entered values when the button is clicked, and to display a line (of an array maybe ? Beacause it will have several lines possibly if the button is clicked more than once) with theses values displayed (like a recap of the entered values).
I don't know how to do that, if I need to create 2 components (one for the "form" part and one for the 'list" part) and how can I create dynamically a part of a component ? Or should I need to use event to create the "list" component ?
To reformulate, I think I need to create a list of lines, that will be set dynamically (line by line, when the button will be clicked)

A:

This is a bigger question than it may sound to you. Lucky for you, there happens to be a tutorial following a very similar use-case on Trailhead. It may take a while but the lesson will be much more valuable and considered than a brief answer you receive to this question, which is too broad as is.

Lesson: Creating a Lightning Component to Preserve State History

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn how to create a Lightning component that preserves state history. We will start by understanding the basic concepts of Lightning components and then move on to creating our own component.

Section 1: Understanding Lightning Components

Lightning components are reusable UI building blocks that allow developers to create custom user interfaces for Salesforce applications. They can be used to add functionality and style to standard Salesforce objects, such as accounts, leads, and opportunities.

Components can be created using either Aura or Lightning Design System (LDS) frameworks. Aura components are based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while LDS components are built using the Lightning framework, which provides pre-built UI elements and components.

State history refers to the ability of a component to remember its previous state when it is reused in different parts of the application. This is particularly useful when working with forms, where users may need to enter data multiple times.

Section 2: Creating a Lightning Component to Preserve State History

To create our component, we will follow these steps:

1. Create a new Lightning component project in the Developer Console.
2. Define the component's metadata, including its layout, fields, and properties.
3. Implement the component's JavaScript logic to preserve state history.
4. Test the component in the Developer Console and in a Salesforce org.

Step 1: Create a new Lightning component project

Open the Developer Console and navigate to the Components tab. Click on the Create New Component button and select Lightning Component from the template list.

Step 2: Define the component's metadata

Give your component a name, such as "FormHistory", and select the LDS framework. In the Layout Editor, add a form containing two fields, such as Text and Number, and a button. Set the field values to be displayed based on the form's state.

Step 3: Implement the component's JavaScript logic

Add a JavaScript function to preserve the form's state history. This function should store the values of the fields in an array when the button is clicked. When the component is reused, this array can be used to restore the form's state.

Step 4: Test the component

In the Developer Console, open the Components tab and click on the FormHistory component. Drag the component onto the canvas and drop it into a test class. Open the component's settings and click the Save Changes button.

Now, click on the button in the form and observe how the component preserves its state history.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to create a Lightning component that preserves state history. We started by understanding the basic concepts of Lightning components and then moved on to creating our own component. We followed a step-by-step process to define the component's metadata, implement its JavaScript logic, and test it in the Developer Console and in a Salesforce org.

Glossary:

- Lightning Component: A reusable UI building block for Salesforce applications
- LDS Framework: A framework for building Lightning components
- State History: The ability of a component to remember its previous state when it is reused in different parts of the application
- JavaScript: A programming language used to implement the functionality of Lightning components

Self-Debate Discussion:

Why is it important to preserve state history in a Lightning component? How does this feature benefit both developers and end-users?

text: Knowledge increases power. This article from Physorg reports on research about the effects of hypothetical questions. Juries often hear hypothetical questions before they are selected, and Sarah Moore, University of Alberta Business researcher, found that these questions can plant a bias. Jurors told ahead of time that they might hear such questions and not to let them influence opinions are far less likely to absorb the intended bias.. Thomas Hobbes said "scientia potentia est" = Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more likely you can develop your own opinion rather than adopting an opinion someone else would like you to have.

text: Neighborhood Litter Control Plans. Using data and engaging community to build neighborhood-specific plans to tackle litter and illegal dumping. Guided by City-wide Litter Index data, the City and partners are developing neighborhood-specific Litter Control Plans, beginning with communities that have the most problematic Litter Index scores to guide all litter reduction work with the principle of equity. Learn more about plans for specific neighborhoods below.

textbook:
Lesson: Neighborhood Litter Control Plans

## Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about neighborhood litter control plans. We will explore how data is used to develop neighborhood-specific plans to tackle litter and illegal dumping. We will also discuss the importance of community engagement in these plans and how equity is considered in their development.

## Section 2: What are Neighborhood Litter Control Plans?

Neighborhood Litter Control Plans are developed by the City and its partners to reduce litter and illegal dumping in specific neighborhoods. These plans are based on City-wide Litter Index data, which measures the amount of litter in different areas. The plans are designed to address the unique needs of each neighborhood, taking into account factors such as population density, demographics, and existing litter reduction efforts.

HMRC tops £4bn in tax avoidance scheme crackdown

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has collected more than £4bn through its controversial ‘pay now, dispute later’ accelerated payment notices rules, for people who have used a tax avoidance scheme.

HMRC said that more than 75,000 accelerated payment notices (APNs) have been issued to people under enquiry for tax avoidance since rules were introduced in 2014. And HMRC has now issued APNs on all the schemes that were already under investigation when the new rules came in, it said in statement.

Also, last week, the High Court confirmed that HMRC had won another Judicial Review of the APN regime – the department has now won six out of six Judicial Reviews.

HMRC said that it has collected an average of £38,400 each day by requiring people in avoidance schemes to pay their disputed tax upfront. The average bill for large companies trying to avoid tax is £6m, while for individuals and small corporates it’s £74,000.

In comparison, the worker on an average salary who doesn’t try to avoid tax pays less than £6,000 in National Insurance and income tax in a year.

‘Undue burden’

David Richardson, director general for customer compliance group in HMRC, said: “The vast majority of people play by the rules and pay their taxes on time – people who try to do otherwise place an undue burden on everyone else.

“APNs have helped level the playing field by changing the economics of avoidance.”

Richardson added that HMRC is “pleased” that the High Court has again supported it’s operation of the Accelerated Payments regime.

People who receive an APN have 90 days to pay up or make representation to HMRC if they think it is incorrect – with HMRC upholding 90% of decisions.

HMRC added that it currently has more than 600 schemes and 80,000 users under investigation. The UK tax authority wins around eight out of ten cases taken to court, with many more settling before litigation, its statement said.

Lesson: Tax Avoidance Schemes

Introduction:

Tax avoidance schemes are designed to help people reduce their tax burden by taking advantage of legal loopholes in the tax system. However, these schemes are often complex and can result in significant financial losses for individuals and businesses. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of tax avoidance schemes, their impact on the economy, and the measures taken by governments to prevent their abuse.

Main Topic: Tax Avoidance Schemes

I. What are tax avoidance schemes?

Tax avoidance schemes are strategies that individuals and businesses use to minimize their tax liability by exploiting legal loopholes in the tax system. These schemes involve a variety of financial transactions, such as offshore bank accounts, trusts, and complex investment structures, which are designed to reduce taxable income or increase tax deductions.

II. How do tax avoidance schemes impact the economy?

Tax avoidance schemes can have a significant impact on the economy. When individuals and businesses use these schemes to reduce their tax burden, they deprive the government of revenue needed to fund essential services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. This can lead to higher taxes for everyone else, as well as a reduction in public services. Additionally, tax avoidance schemes can contribute to income inequality by allowing wealthy individuals to keep more of their income, while middle-class and low-income earners pay a higher share of their income in taxes.

III. Measures taken by governments to prevent tax avoidance

Governments around the world have implemented various measures to prevent the abuse of tax avoidance schemes. These measures include:

1. Stricter enforcement of tax laws: Governments have increased their efforts to investigate and prosecute individuals and businesses that engage in aggressive tax avoidance schemes.

2. Transparency initiatives: Governments have implemented initiatives such as the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which require financial institutions to report information about accounts held by non-resident depositors.

3. Public disclosure of tax information: Some countries require individuals and businesses to disclose their tax returns publicly, which can help to deter tax evasion and avoidance.

4. Changes to tax laws: Governments have made changes to their tax laws to close loopholes and make it more difficult for individuals and businesses to engage in tax avoidance schemes.

Conclusion:

Tax avoidance schemes can have a significant impact on the economy, and governments have taken measures to prevent their abuse. By understanding the concept of tax avoidance schemes and the measures taken to prevent them, individuals and businesses can make informed decisions about their financial affairs and contribute to a fairer and more sustainable tax system.

Implementation of the DOTS strategy for tuberculosis control in rural Kiboga District, Uganda, offering patients the option of treatment supervision in the community, 1998-1999.
Kiboga District, a rural district in central Uganda. As part of routine tuberculosis control programme operations, to measure the effectiveness and acceptability of community-based tuberculosis (TB) care using the directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) strategy for TB control. The implementation of the DOTS strategy with active participation of local communities in providing the option of treatment supervision in the community is known in Uganda as community-based DOTS (CB-DOTS). Effectiveness was measured by comparing TB case-finding and treatment outcomes before and after the introduction of CB-DOTS in 1998. Acceptability was measured by administering a knowledge, attitudes and beliefs questionnaire to community members, health care workers and TB patients before and after the intervention. A total of 540 TB patients were registered in the control period (1995-1997) before the introduction of CB-DOTS, and 450 were registered in the intervention period (1998-1999) after the implementation of CB-DOTS. Following the implementation of CB-DOTS, treatment success among new smear-positive pulmonary TB cases increased from 56% to 74% (RR 1.3, 95%CI 1.2-1.5, P < 0.001) and treatment interruption decreased from 23% to 1% (RR 16.5, 95%CI 6.1-44.7, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the proportion of deaths before and after the implementation of CB-DOTS (15% vs. 14% for new smear-positive pulmonary, and 38% vs. 29% for new smear-negative and extra-pulmonary TB cases). The acceptability of CB-DOTS was very high among those interviewed, mainly because CB-DOTS improved access to TB care, decreased costs and enabled patients to stay with their families. In enabling patients to choose TB treatment supervision in the community, CB-DOTS provided a highly effective and acceptable additional option to conventional TB care. Efforts are underway to address the high case fatality rates in both study groups before and after the introduction of CB-DOTS. CB-DOTS is an example of shared responsibility between health services and communities in tackling a major public health priority.

Lesson: Introduction to Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) Strategy for Tuberculosis Control

### Section 1: Introduction to DOTS Strategy

The DOTS strategy is a tuberculosis control method that involves directly observing patients taking their medication and ensuring they complete the full course. This approach has been successful in reducing the spread of tuberculosis in many countries. In this lesson, we will learn about the DOTS strategy, its benefits, and how it works.

### Section 2: Understanding the DOTS Strategy

The DOTS strategy is a comprehensive approach to tuberculosis control that includes the following components:

1. Diagnosis: Accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis using sputum smear microscopy or culture.
2. Treatment: Patients are given a six-month course of antibiotics, which must be taken daily.
3. Supervision: Patients are closely monitored by healthcare workers to ensure they take their medication correctly and complete the full course.
4. Reporting: Regular reporting of treatment outcomes to national tuberculosis control programs.

The DOTS strategy is beneficial because it ensures patients receive the correct treatment and reduces the likelihood of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Additionally, the strategy helps prevent the spread of tuberculosis within communities.

### Section 3: How the DOTS Strategy Works

The DOTS strategy is implemented through a combination of community-based and clinic-based approaches. Community-based DOTS (CB-DOTS) involves trained volunteers who visit patients at home to observe their medication intake and provide support. Clinic-based DOTS (CB-DOTS) involves healthcare workers who supervise patients during their visits to the clinic.

In the DOTS strategy, patients are required to attend the clinic daily for the first two months of treatment, then twice weekly until completion. Healthcare workers use a patient card to record each dose taken, which helps ensure patients adhere to the treatment regimen.

### Section 4: Conclusion

The DOTS strategy is an effective and efficient approach to tuberculosis control. By ensuring patients receive the correct treatment and are closely monitored, the strategy reduces the spread of tuberculosis and prevents drug-resistant strains from developing. The strategy also involves community participation, which helps build trust and support for patients undergoing treatment.

Justin Blau, better known to the world as 3LAU, is a prominent fixture in the electronic dance world, with Vegas residencies and major festival sets all over the world. Of all genres, electronic music has the most symbiotic relationship with technology, one that runs back to its inception. Fittingly, Blau is also a noted blockchain enthusiast, and OMF is an endeavor close to his heart. He says that OMF is all about connecting with the fans.“The fact that fans aren’t involved at all is a problem,” Blau explained to Forbes. “If the fans felt more invested in the actual event, wouldn’t they promote it more and tell their friends?,” We’re looking to give fans an experience.”

From a blockchain perspective, it’s all about proving the many ways in which blockchan can improve the fan experience. “The blockchain space is littered with promises that lack real world application,” Blau told Billboard Magazine. “We’re throwing our first event this year to show our commitment to inciting change. While it will take time for OMF to reach its full potential, our team has studied blockchain-layered applications and legal compliance for years to facilitate realistic steps toward decentralization.”

Tech media leader Futurism sees the benefits of blockchain and the music industry, in particular when it comes to ticketing. “It’s been a long time coming; the ticket sale industry is more than ripe for an update,” stated writer Victor Tangermann in a feature on OMF. “Blockchain technology, based on the smart contract Ethereum platform, could improve the situation in a number of ways. It could make the sales of counterfeit tickets impossible by permanently tying the original ticket holder’s identity to their ticket, regardless of how many times the ticket changes hands.”

In simple terms, blockchain is a chain of blocks that contain information about transactions. Each block is linked to the previous one, creating an unalterable and transparent record of all transactions.

Section 2: How does Blockchain Technology affect the Music Industry?
The music industry has been plagued by issues such as piracy, lack of transparency in royalty payments, and limited fan engagement. Blockchain technology offers a solution to these problems by providing a secure and transparent way to track and verify transactions. This means that artists can get paid fairly for their work, and fans can have a more direct and personal connection with their favorite musicians.

Section 3: Benefits of Blockchain Technology in the Music Industry
1. Transparency: Blockchain technology provides a transparent and secure way to track transactions, making it easier to identify and prevent fraud.
2. Improved Royalty Payments: With blockchain, artists can receive accurate and timely royalty payments, ensuring that they are fairly compensated for their work.
3. Direct Fan Engagement: Blockchain technology allows artists to connect directly with their fans, creating a more personal and meaningful relationship.
4. Increased Fan Loyalty: By giving fans a more personalized experience, artists can create a stronger bond with their fans, leading to increased loyalty and support.

Section 4: Real-World Examples
One example of blockchain technology in action is the platform UjoMusic, which allows artists to sell their music directly to fans while keeping a higher percentage of their royalties. Another example is the platform Mycelia, which aims to create a fair and transparent music industry by using blockchain technology to manage rights and payments.

Conclusion:
Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the music industry by providing a secure and transparent way to track transactions, improve royalty payments, and increase fan engagement. As more platforms and artists adopt this technology, we can expect to see a more fair and personalized music industry that benefits both artists and fans.

Understanding these trends is crucial for anyone working in the fashion world, whether you're a designer, retailer, or simply someone who loves to follow the latest styles. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of trends in the fashion industry and learn about the different ways that trends are predicted and analyzed.

Section 1: What are Trends?
Trends refer to the popular styles, colors, and designs that are currently being used in the fashion industry. They can be influenced by many factors, including celebrity culture, social media, and even political events. Trends can change quickly, and it's important for fashion professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest trends to remain competitive.

Section 2: Predicting Trends
Predicting trends is a complex process that involves analyzing data from various sources, such as social media, runway shows, and consumer behavior. There are several methods used to predict trends, including:

1. Market Research: This involves gathering information about consumer preferences, buying habits, and lifestyle choices to identify emerging trends.

Once trends have been predicted, they need to be analyzed to determine their potential impact on the fashion industry. This involves looking at several factors, such as:

1. Color Palettes: Trend analysts look at the colors that are being used in fashion, and predict which colors will be popular in the upcoming seasons.

2. Textures and Fabrics: Trend analysts also look at the textures and fabrics that are being used in fashion, and predict which ones will be popular in the future.

3. Silhouettes: Trend analysts study the shapes and silhouettes that are being used in fashion, and predict which ones will be popular in the upcoming seasons.

Lesson: Introduction to Process Automation

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about process automation, which is the use of technology to automate repetitive tasks or processes. This can save time and increase efficiency, allowing individuals and organizations to focus on more complex and valuable tasks.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example of automating email communication with clients. Suppose you have a list of clients who are interested in receiving updates about a particular product or service. Instead of manually sending emails to each client, you can create a custom process that sends a bulk email to all clients on the list. This email could contain information about the product or service, as well as any promotions or discounts available.

To set up this automation, you would first create a view that contains the list of clients who have expressed interest in the product or service. You can then create a summary notification that triggers an email to be sent to all clients on the view. The email could include personalized messages or dynamic content based on the client's interests or previous interactions with your organization.

Once the email is sent, you may want to track whether clients are engaging with the content or making purchases as a result of the email. To do this, you can create a custom process that tracks clicks or purchases made by clients after receiving the email. This information can be used to optimize future email campaigns and improve overall communication with clients.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider a scenario where you have multiple lists of clients with varying interests and preferences. To manage email communication with these clients, you could create separate views for each list and use summary notifications to send targeted emails to each group. Additionally, you could use filters to ensure that only clients who have not unsubscribed from email communications receive messages.

To further automate communication, you could also create custom processes that send follow-up emails based on client actions. For example, if a client clicks a link in an email about a particular product, you could trigger a follow-up email with more information or a special offer related to that product.

## Glossary
- Process Automation: The use of technology to automate repetitive tasks or processes.
- View: A collection of records that meet specific criteria.
- Summary Notification: A feature that allows you to automatically perform a task based on changes in the records in a view.
- Filter: A condition that is used to refine a search or query.
- Unsubscribe: To opt out of receiving email communications.

## Conclusion
Process automation can save time and increase efficiency, allowing individuals and organizations to focus on more complex and valuable tasks. By automating email communication with clients, you can improve engagement and optimize campaigns to drive better results. As you continue to explore process automation, remember to consider the specific needs and goals of your organization, and to carefully plan and test your automations to ensure they are effective and reliable.
