Le sens philosophique du discours sur l’éducabilité des « sourds-muets » au siècle des Lumières en France
Authors: Sakakura Yûji
Published: September 2018

Ce n’est certainement pas sans raison que l’on a privilégié, dans l’histoire des « sourds-muets », les deux grands instituteurs pionniers en France, J. R. Pereire et l’abbé Ch.-M. de l’Epée. Si les philosophes des Lumières s’intéressent au « prodige » réalisé par ceux-ci, c’est que les enjeux de leur aventure touchent à une des problématiques les plus fondamentales de la philosophie occidentale : qu’est-ce qui distingue le genre humain des animaux ? En cherchant dans la nature des animaux l’archétype de la nature humaine, les philosophes s’intéressent aux hommes vivant à l’écart de la société civile exactement comme le fameux « enfant sauvage de l’Aveyron », trouvé « dans les bois » à la fin du siècle. Les « sourds-muets » sont de là considérés comme des hommes vivant dans la société mais privés de relations avec les autres hommes. Sourds-muets » et aveugles ont fourni aux philosophes des Lumières des « preuves matérielles » pour critiquer les partisans des « idées innées » cartésiennes.
Turgot et la navigation de la Charente : de la théorie à la pratique, et retour
Authors: Moyer Frédéric
Published: September 2018

Cet article analyse comment la confrontation des théories et pratiques de Turgot, dans l’exercice de son administration, donne naissance à des savoirs, en lien avec l’économie publique (plus particulièrement l’administration du territoire pour améliorer la circulation). Il repose sur l’étude d’un cas méconnu, la navigation de la Charente, fondée sur l’exploitation de nombreuses archives pour beaucoup inédites. Contrairement à ce que sa postérité laisse souvent entendre, il n’y a pas deux Turgot, l’un théoricien, libéral, et l’autre administrateur, partisan de l’interventionnisme étatique, mais un seul, qui cherche à rationaliser l’action étatique en tenant compte des savoirs économiques, des obstacles concrets sur le territoire qu’il administre et des savoirs des ingénieurs, en poursuivant un double objectif d’efficacité et d’équité. On est donc bien loin avec Turgot d’une science économique déterritorialisée.
De l’usage du rococo dans la critique littéraire dix-huitièmiste
Authors: Daguisé Floriane
Published: September 2018

Qu’on l’appelle « goût », « style », « courant » ou « tendance », le rococo a connu, à partir des années 1960 et de manière plus nette depuis les années 2000, un réinvestissement dans le cadre d’analyses littéraires. Cette catégorie historiographique en elle-même nébuleuse, émanant des arts décoratifs et exploitée par les domaines plastiques, ressurgit dans le champ littéraire chargée d’implications théoriques majeures pour l’étude de la première moitié du 18 e siècle. Face à la diversité des tentatives pour circonscrire et mettre à profit le rococo, il s’agit de mettre en perspective ces travaux, à la fois pour en comprendre les soubassements conceptuels, en évaluer la pertinence méthodologique et en mesurer l’intérêt pour la recherche dix-huitièmiste.
Le conflit des hospitalités
Authors: Brugère Fabienne , Le Blanc Guillaume
Published: September 2018

Dans un monde de murs et de camps, l’hospitalité a cessé d’être une valeur politique pour retourner dans le domaine éthique. Des formes d’entraide existent, mais il faut dépasser le secours par l’accueil institutionnel et une citoyenneté post-nationale.

La banalisation du mal
Authors: Wieviorka Michel
Published: September 2018

Dans les années 1970, nous sommes passés d’une immigration de travail à une immigration de peuplement, ce qui a entraîné des difficultés d’intégration et une nouvelle forme, culturelle, de racisme. Aujourd’hui, les migrants qui arrivent ne font souvent que transiter, le racisme s’est fixé sur une religion et les politiques migratoires sont de plus en plus dures.

Assurer les déplacements en zones sensibles : le cas des assurances Kidnap & Ransom
Authors: Lecoy Romane
Published: September 2018

Face à l’accroissement du risque d’enlèvement dans certaines zones du monde, le recours des entreprises aux assurances Kidnap & Ransom (kidnapping & rançon) se généralise. Bien que garantissant un certain niveau de protection aux salariés déployés en zones sensibles, ces contrats doivent pour autant être conformes à la réglementation en vigueur sous peine de sanctions financières, voire pénales. Dans cet article, Romane Lecoy, chargée de projet auprès du pôle entreprises-opérateurs du Centre de crise et de soutien (CDCS) du ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères (MEAE), rappelle que la souscription à une assurance Kidnap & Ransom doit se faire dans le respect du cadre juridique français.
Des adultes encore parentifiés
Authors: Zimmermann Kehlstadt Laurence
Published: September 2018

Les concepts de « parentification » et de l’« enfant parental » ont été développés respectivement par Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy et Salvador Minuchin en référence à la position de l’enfant ou de l’adolescent par rapport à ses parents. Ces concepts ont été repris par de nombreux auteurs mais, à ma connaissance, il n’a pas été question de considérer que des adultes restent dans cette relation particulière d’enfant parentifié à leurs parents ou, par délégation, à un membre de leur famille. Ces patients ne sont souvent pas conscients de ce lien et de sa pathologie. Or une fois celui-ci mis en évidence et nommé, il devient possible de dénouer des situations apparemment complexes. Cet article, après avoir redéfini le concept de parentification et son expression clinique chez l’adulte, vise à donner des outils au thérapeute lui permettant d’identifier ce lien particulier. Puis il décrira les spécificités relationnelles auxquelles le thérapeute sera confronté avec ces patients souvent très adaptés et les étapes du processus thérapeutique.
Le cycle de vie familiale : un concept essentiel pour appréhender les familles contemporaines
Authors: Dupont Sébastien
Published: September 2018

Cet article propose une actualisation du concept de cycle de vie familiale et une synthèse de ses apports au champ de la thérapie familiale. La famille est un groupe dynamique qui évolue et se transforme au fur et à mesure de son développement. Chaque étape de son cycle de vie entraîne une réorganisation des relations familiales et des règles de vie partagée (autonomisation du jeune adulte vis-à-vis de sa famille d’origine, formation du couple, famille avec de jeunes enfants, scolarisation des enfants, adolescence, nid vide, retraite des parents, etc.). Le passage d’une étape à une autre confronte chaque fois la famille à de nouvelles problématiques et peut donner lieu à une période de crise. Ces difficultés à évoluer ensemble constituent un facteur important des problèmes et des symptômes présentés par les familles. La diversification des configurations familiales n’entame pas la pertinence du concept de cycle de vie familiale. Plus les familles sont fragiles et changeantes, plus il est utile de les appréhender comme des trajectoires familiales et de considérer les étapes de leur évolution.
Thérapie interpersonnelle basée sur l’attachement appliquée aux couples
Authors: Louppe Florence , Rahioui Hassan
Published: September 2018

La théorie de l’attachement s’est avérée pertinente pour la compréhension clinique des difficultés relationnelles au sein du couple. Elle permet d’appréhender l’histoire individuelle de chaque membre de cette dyade à l’aune de son style d’attachement et de ses représentations relationnelles héritées de ses interactions précoces. Dans ce sens, la thérapie interpersonnelle basée sur l’attachement propose des perspectives intéressantes. Ainsi un modèle s’inspirant de cette approche a été étendu à la relation de couple, se focalisant d’abord sur la problématique d’attachement originelle de chaque partenaire avant d’aborder la dynamique conjugale.

Inclusivity in the Archives
Authors: Lueck Amy J. , Law Beverlyn , Zhang Isabella
Published: September 2018

This chapter uses the experience of two undergraduate students conducting research in their university archives to consider the “hidden curriculum” entailed in archival research at some institutions. When diverse identities and experiences are not represented in our archives, we run the risk of communicating a lack of value for those identities, producing a feeling of marginalization and exclusion for some students and foreclosing an opportunity to build solidarity across difference for others. In light of the limited holdings at many university archives and the increased prevalence of archival research in the undergraduate classroom, the authors draw on research from writing studies, anthropology, archival research, and public memory to produce recommendations for students, faculty, and institutions working to compose inclusive archives and research experiences.

Here to Stay
Authors: Hayes Lenora M.
Published: September 2018

Contingent faculty are an important part of the workforce in higher education because they are mainly tasked with teaching entry-level undergraduate courses. However, there is not much knowledge regarding their rise to majority faculty appointments in U.S. colleges and universities, the constitution of this new faculty, the past and present issues they face regularly, or what the future holds for them. This chapter will review the literature about the historical growth of non-tenure-track hiring in U.S. colleges and universities, provide a description of the composition of this faculty, and outline specific issues they deal with while addressing opportunities advancement as well as their overall satisfaction with their work conditions.
Pesticide Sources, Their Fate, and Different Ways to Impact Aquatic Organisms
Authors: Siddiqui Samreen
Published: September 2018

Since the industrial revolution, several new chemicals were discovered and introduced in society, and soon after the green revolution, pesticides were also introduced to strengthen food security. However, limited education on their application, handling, and usage resulted in them making their way into the aquatic ecosystem. This chapter defines the different sources of pesticides, based on their point of origin and the way it transports pesticides to the aquatic systems. After this, the pesticide interaction in an aquatic environment with various organic and inorganic substances is described. Each interaction is supported with the recent researches and examples. Following pesticides sources and interactions, its fate in the aquatic system has been defined through various physical and chemical processes. Ultimately, its impact on aquatic organisms is discussed. This chapter is concluded with recommended management practices and future research directions. Some terms are also defined at the end of this chapter.
Status of Indian Wetlands With Special Reference to Pesticides and Their Impact
Authors: Manzoor Javid , Sharma Manoj , Sofi Irfan Rashid , Fayaz Mufida , Bhat Musadiq Hussain
Published: September 2018

Wetlands are home to numerous species of fish, birds, and reptiles. The enormous roots of the mangrove trees act as shelter to small fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Pesticides and agro-chemical fertilizers have been playing a very pivotal role in the degradation of the land and the water bodies. The different herbicides that are present in wetlands are Dicamba, Endothall, MCPA, Triallate, Trifluralin, 2, 4-D, and insecticides Carbaryl, Carbofuran, Fenvalerate, Malathion, Parathion, and Terbufos. These pesticides have been provided with the aim of catering to the security of the crops which are highly vulnerable to the pests. However, harmful effects of pesticides on wetland species have been a concern for long time. Wetlands constitute one such habitat threatened by the pesticides. But there has been a lack of comprehensive research in this direction. The chapter will identify the gaps in the current research and will review the status of Indian wetlands with special reference to pesticides and their impact.
Occurrence of Pesticides and Their Removal From Aquatic Medium by Adsorption
Authors: Sofi Irfan Rashid , Bhat Rayees Ahmad , Quadir Rabia , Manzoor Javid
Published: September 2018

Large amounts of pesticides are used annually, and in some cases, a part of the pesticide enters the water bodies by surface runoff to form long-term residues. In the recent past, the adverse effects of pesticides on the environment and human health received serious attention by the public and the competent authorities. Various conventional methods are used to remove these pesticides from water, but those methods are either costly or typical in operation. Therefore, adsorption is considered as an ecofriendly method. The adsorbent derived from biomaterial is considered an encouraging adsorbent due to its cost-effective and high adsorption capacity. In this chapter, detailed information on different types of pesticides, their metabolites, environmental concerns, and present status on degradation methods using adsorbents will be reviewed. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview on the recent advancement in the utilization of different adsorbents for the removal of pesticides. Overall, this study assists researchers to move forward in exploring a simple and economically viable technique to produce adsorbents with outstanding physiochemical properties and excellent adsorption capacity, so that the pesticides can be removed from aquatic ecosystem.
Computational Tools and Techniques to Predict Aquatic Toxicity of Some Halogenated Pollutants
Authors: Satpathy Raghunath
Published: September 2018

Halogenated organic compounds are usually xenobiotic in nature and used as ingredients for the synthesis of pesticides, solvents, surfactants, and plastics. However, their introduction to the aquatic ecosystems resulted in ecological danger due to their toxic effects. The usual method of toxicity assessment is by performing the experimental approach by considering some model organism. In this aspect the computational techniques such as QSAR (quantitative structure activity relationship) is considered an effective method. By computing several molecular features and the experimental activity, the toxic effect of a compound can be correlated. This chapter describes the aquatic toxicity of the compounds. The information about different computational resources (databases, tools, and modeling tools) have been given. Also, the application of QSAR to predict aquatic toxicity of different halogenated compounds available in the literature has been reviewed.
Organic Farming
Authors: Singh Shivom , Kumar Bhupendra , Sharma Neha , Rathore Kajal S.
Published: September 2018

Agriculture is one of the significant factors contributing to the economic growth of India. In order to reap a better harvest, farmers inoculate the soil with fertilizers. These fertilizers include pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc., and are broadly used to control pests and pest-induced diseases. Increasingly high inputs of chemical fertilizers have not only left soils degraded, but it has also increased the adverse effect on aquatic life and other environmental hazards. Organic farming methods would crack these issues and make the ecosystem healthier. Bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides form a link between the biotic and abiotic factors and can be used to supplement the expensive chemical fertilizers. This chapter focuses on agricultural chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides) that impact the aquatic environment. The aim of the chapter is to improve ecological sustainability and to minimize the effects of pesticides on aquatic ecosystems. In addition, the authors attempt to reveal almost all positive aspects of organic farming in special reference to aquatic pollution.

Authors: Haq Farooq , Medhekar Anita
Published: September 2018

In the 21st century, tourism has become a popular economic development strategy adopted by developing countries. Among various facets of tourism, heritage tourism has been observed as the economically and commercially most viable option. Since countries with limited investment resources could invite foreign tourists to enjoy their heritage culture, history, arts, and music. However, heritage tourism in India and Pakistan has been observed as the neglected domain. The reasons for ignoring heritage tourism in India and Pakistan will be analyzed in this chapter with the purpose to identify challenges to preserve, conserve, develop, and promote built heritage tourism. Innovative transformation is suggested as the approach to develop, rejuvenate, and transform the tangible and intangible heritage tourism in India and Pakistan for reuse, social and economic prosperity of locals living around heritage sites, as well as to provide transformational experience to visitors.

Published: September 2018

This chapter investigates the potential of Kalaripayattu as a tourism product. The study adopted interview method both personal and telephonic to extract primary data from practitioners and tourists. The study result shows that various facets of Kalaripayattu practices provide scope for visual engagement, psychological engagement, spiritual/wellbeing engagement, therapeutic engagement, engagement in specialized treatment, and engagement in combat and self-defense applications. These engagement are found to be appropriate to develop tourism products which could meet the general, wellness, cultural, as well as health tourism sectors. Study further investigates the impeding factors, while developing Kalaripayattu as a tourism product and suggested strategies to overcome the same. The study also suggests that the contemporary marketing practice can create a vibrant market for Kalaripayattu, and thereby, this ancient martial art could become a unique selling proposition (USP) in the tourism market.
The Creative Disruption of Degree Apprenticeships in the UK
Authors: Bravenboer Darryll
Published: September 2018

The introduction of an apprenticeship levy for employers with a payroll above £3m in 2017 has transformed the landscape for higher-level skills in the UK. While there is some evidence of the economic benefits of higher education, it seems to be largely operating to reproduce economic position rather than as an agent of social mobility. At the same time, UK employers have made it clear that graduates do not possess the range of skills that they require and yet have a poor record of investing in the development of their employees. In this problematized context, degree apprenticeships can operate to creatively disrupt our understanding of the relationship between higher education and work. Assumptions about the presumed differences between academic and professional standards, knowledge and competence, on-and-off-the-job learning are all challenged by the introduction of degree apprenticeships. Can universities overcome these challenges to rethink the role of higher education as the worlds of work and learning align?

These routes are combined in new ways within the German-wide state-funded competition “Advancement Through Education: Open Universities,” which is exemplary discussed. The chapter closes with summarizing challenges and outlining future perspectives.
Integration of Work-Based Learning Into Higher Education for Economic Development in Nigeria
Authors: Iyioke Ifeoma C. , Iyioke Ike V. , Ezemma Joseph C.
Published: September 2018

Work-based learning (WBL) has a long history in higher education in Nigeria. The current WBL programs are the Students' Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) and the Graduate Internship (GI). They are sponsored by the federal government with the aim to improve employment outcomes. However, there is still a gross mismatch between the skills of graduates and the demands of employers. This chapter analyzes why the WBL programs in Nigeria have yet not been successful, and suggests alternatives. The analysis reveals a dysfunctional job placement process as a primary barrier and suggests consolidating the SIWES and GI into one school-to-work program, based upon the Graduate Employability Skill Development (GESD) model, along with strategies to improve the development, management, and quality assurance of placement. The chapter concludes by underscoring the integration and effective management of WBL at all levels of education, including continuing education as an important and realistic approach that Nigeria should strive for to attain economic development.

Privacy, Security, and Liberty
Authors: Büscher Monika , Perng Sung-Yueh , Liegl Michael
Published: September 2018

This paper explores issues of privacy, security and liberty arising in relation to information and communication technologies (ICT) for crisis response and management. Privacy, security and liberty are concepts that have undergone significant changes over time. The authors show how ICT related transformations of socio-technical practices involved in their enactment create challenges, opportunities and dangers in the context of crisis response. While opportunities include development of more informed, efficient and agile emergency management, dangers include increased surveillance, social sorting, and an erosion of privacy, civil liberties and virtues of humanity. The authors explore causes and mechanisms that underpin these dynamics and measures developed to address them. Against this backdrop, they discuss ‘design for privacy' as a socio-technical design approach that empowers people. The aim is to motivate, and explore avenues for, socio-technical innovation that supports information processing and respect for privacy in crisis response and management.

Adapting maturity models to healthcare organization's needs is an issue that researchers and technicians should consider and a valuable instrument for IT managers because these models allow the assessment of a present situation as well as the identification of useful improvement measures. This paper discusses the practical utilization of maturity models, including different manners of exploring model's usefulness. For a more complete understanding of maturity models, the selection of criteria and processes of measurement, called metrics, is briefly reviewed in terms of indicators and daily procedures. Some issues of management information systems security are briefly addressed, along with a note on measuring security assessment. Finally some considerations are presented about the need for privacy of personal data to ensure the strategies to be pursued to sensitive data in order to establish a level of effective privacy which is included in the concerns of security of information systems.
Risk-Based Privacy-Aware Information Disclosure
Authors: Armando Alessandro , Bezzi Michele , Metoui Nadia , Sabetta Antonino
Published: September 2018

Risk-aware access control systems grant or deny access to resources based on the notion of risk. It has many advantages compared to classical approaches, allowing for more flexibility, and ultimately supporting for a better exploitation of data. The authors propose and demonstrate a risk-aware access control framework for information disclosure, which supports run-time risk assessment. In their framework access-control decisions are based on the disclosure-risk associated with a data access request and, differently from existing models, adaptive anonymization operations are used as risk-mitigation method. The inclusion of on-the-fly anonymization allows for extending access to data, still preserving privacy below the maximum tolerable risk. Risk thresholds can be adapted to the trustworthiness of the requester role, so a single access control framework can support multiple data access use cases, ranging from sharing data among a restricted (highly trusted) group to public release (low trust value). The authors have developed a prototype implementation of their framework and have assessed it by running a number of queries against the Adult Data Set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, a publicly available dataset that is widely used by the research community. The experimental results are encouraging and confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach.

A Technology and Process Analysis for Contemporary Identity Management Frameworks
Authors: Ng Alex , Watters Paul , Chen Shiping
Published: September 2018

The digital profile of a person has become one of the tradable digital commodities over the Internet. Identity management has gained increasing attention from both enterprises and government organisations, in terms of security, privacy, and trust. A considerable number of theories and techniques have been developed to deal with identity management issues using biometric multimodal approaches. In this chapter, the authors review, assess, and consolidate the research and development activities of contemporary biometric and non-biometric identity management in 21 privately and publicly funded organisations. Furthermore, they develop a taxonomy to characterise and classify these identity management frameworks into two categories: processes and technologies. The authors then study these frameworks by systematically reviewing the whole lifecycle of an identity management framework, including actors, roles, security, privacy, trust, interoperability, and federation. The goal is to provide readers with a comprehensive picture of the state of the art of the existing identity management frameworks that utilise biometric and non-biometric technologies with the aim to highlight the contemporary issues and progress in this area of identity management.
Real-Name Registration Regulation in China
Authors: Yang Kenneth C. C. , Kang Yowei
Published: September 2018

On February 4, 2015, China announced its new regulations that require all Chinese Internet users to register with their real names. The heightened control of Internet clearly demonstrates Chinese government's concerns over increasing social unrests and the abilities of Chinese Internet users to access information not censored by the government. However, the real-name registration regime has posed the greatest challenge to the anonymity of the Internet that many Chinese users have valued in an authoritarian society. Furthermore, the real-name registration system also impinges on Chinese Internet users' privacy, political freedom, and freedom of speech. This book chapter analyzes microblog discussions to examine existing Chinese censorship and control systems on the Internet, to investigate government's rhetoric to justify its censorship and control systems, and to identify major themes in Chinese netizens' reactions and discourses.

Authors: Zhou Tao
Published: September 2018

Retaining users and facilitating their continuance usage are crucial to the success of mobile social network sites. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting continuance usage of mobile social network sites. The results indicated that both system quality and service quality affect trust, which in turn affects flow experience and privacy concern. In addition, privacy policy can help mitigate privacy concern. Trust, flow and privacy concern determine continuance usage. The results imply that service providers need to improve users' experience and mitigate their privacy concern in order to facilitate their continuance usage.
Compliance of Electronic Health Record Applications With HIPAA Security and Privacy Requirements
Authors: Farhadi Maryam , Haddad Hisham M. , Shahriar Hossain
Published: September 2018

Electronic health record (EHR) applications are digital versions of paper-based patients health information. EHR applications are increasingly being adopted in many countries. They have resulted in improved quality in healthcare, convenient access to histories of patient medication and clinic visits, easier follow up of patient treatment plans, and precise medical decision-making process by doctors. EHR applications are guided by measures of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, there have been reported breaches of protected health identifier (PHI) data stored by EHR applications. In many reported breaches, improper use of EHRs has resulted in disclosure of patient's protected health information. The goal of this chapter is to (1) provide an overview of HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (2) summarize recent literature works related to complying with HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (3) map some of the existing vulnerabilities with HIPAA security rules.
Privacy Preservation in Information System
Authors: Acharjya D. P. , Mary A. Geetha
Published: September 2018

The information technology revolution has brought drastic change in the way data is collected or generated for decision mining. The accumulated data has no relevance unless it provides certain useful information pertaining to the interest of an organization. The real challenge lies in converting high dimensional data into knowledge and to use this knowledge for the development of the organization. On the other hand, hiding an organization's sensitive information is a major concern. Much research has been carried out in this direction. This chapter discusses various privacy preservation techniques that can be employed in an information system to safeguard the sensitive information of an organization. This chapter also highlights sensitive fuzzy association rules that can be generated from an information system. The authors provide illustrations wherever necessary to give a clear idea of the concepts developed.
In Putin's Russia, Information Has You
Authors: Ognyanova Katherine
Published: September 2018

This chapter outlines the practices of state control over Internet content in Russia and highlights their grounding in the information culture and media environment of the country. Building on existing data on freedom of the press and online censorship, the text explores the socio-cultural context of Kremlin's considerable influence on the Web. To this end, three relevant spheres of power relations are explored. The first one involves censorship and self-censorship routines embedded in the Russian information tradition. The second pertains to the state-controlled mainstream media where news goes through a political filter and the framing of Internet's role in the Russian social life is predominantly negative. The third domain concerns local legislative frameworks and their selective application. The analysis suggests that most of the tools used to control objectionable materials on the Russian Web are not Internet-specific. Rather, they can be seen as a natural extension of the censorship mechanisms used in traditional media.
Peacebuilding, Media, and Terrorism in 21st Century and Beyond
Authors: Shema Claude R.
Published: September 2018

The 21st century faced challenges that undermine peace and harmony among humankind on the planet earth. Apart from scary man made environmental related calamities, the 21st century emerged with the mass media era, where the internet, digital and social media based threats and terrorizing propaganda has catapulted to unspeakable and unprecedented extreme radicalization from all over the globe. The propaganda messages are spread at the lightning speed, from one end of the globe to another instantly, and impacts of the outcomes shake the core of humanity from psychological, political, and socioeconomic aspects as well. Through available literature, this chapter examines the impacts of digital media to peace and conflict resolution, and investigates the psychosocial aspects and modules or hypotheses of media and paths to terrorism behavior as well. Hypotheses suggest a strong link leading to association between digital media and pathways to terrorism and associated psychological impacts.
Progressive Scrambling for Social Media
Authors: Yan Wei Qi , Wu Xiaotian , Liu Feng
Published: September 2018

Despite research work achieving progress in preserving the privacy of user profiles and visual surveillance, correcting problems in social media have not taken a great step. The reason is the lack of effective modelling, computational algorithms, and resultant evaluations in quantitative research. In this article, the authors take social media into consideration and link users together under the umbrella of social networks so as to exploit a way that the potential problems related to media privacy could be solved. The author's contributions are to propose tensor product-based progressive scrambling approaches for privacy preservation of social media and apply our approaches to the given social media which may encapsulate privacy before being viewed so as to achieve the goal of privacy preservation in anonymity, diverse and closeness. These approaches fully preserve the media information of the scrambled image and make sure it is able to be restored. The results show the proposed privacy persevering approaches are effective and have outstanding performance in media privacy preservation.
Evolution of Brand Culture
Authors: Sharan Sudhir , Prasad Suneel Kumar
Published: September 2018

This chapter is the result of a deep-seated question in the mind of the authors- What is the essence of a business firm? The search of answer led the authors from insight to insight and at one point it became clear that roots of business success are deep into the world history. Related to realization above and based on the wider knowledge about business was the second question: What single attribute of a business entity contained most of its essence?

Authors: Neo Loo Seng
Published: September 2018

This chapter proposes an Internet-mediated radicalisation model, RECRO. It consists of five phases: (1) the Reflection phase details the triggers, needs, and vulnerabilities that an individual may have which increase one's receptiveness towards alternative belief systems; (2) the Exploration phase details the period where the individual begins making sense of the information put forth by violent extremists; (3) the Connection phase details the influence of like-minded individuals and the online community on the individual's new worldview; (4) the Resolution phase details the period during which the individual gains the momentum to translate one's radical beliefs into action; and finally (5) the Operational phase details the period during which the individual is ready to commit violence to further one's radical objectives. This model provides a basis for understanding and informing judgements about an individual's level of involvement, and paves the way for future empirical work.

In this world of full contrasts, while first world tourists are encouraged to move from one point to another without any restriction, migrants, asylum-seekers and vagabonds are energetically pursued, jailed or exiled by nation-state.
