Improving resilience to cyber-attacks by analysing system output impacts and costs
Creators: name: Soikkeli, Jukka-Pekka
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Cyber-attacks cost businesses millions of dollars every year, a key component of which is the cost of business disruption from system downtime. As cyber-attacks cannot all be prevented, there is a need to consider the cyber resilience of systems, i.e. the ability to withstand cyber-attacks and recover from them. Previous works discussing system cyber resilience typically either offer generic high-level guidance on best practices, provide limited attack modelling, or apply to systems with special characteristics. There is a lack of an approach to system cyber resilience evaluation that is generally applicable yet provides a detailed consideration for the system-level impacts of cyber-attacks and defences. We propose a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of actions intended to improve resilience to cyber-attacks, considering their impacts on system output performance, and monetary costs. It is intended for analysing attacks that can disrupt the system function, and involves modelling attack progression, system output production, response to attacks, and costs from cyber-attacks and defensive actions. Studies of three use cases demonstrate the implementation and usefulness of our methodology. First, in our redundancy planning study, we considered the effect of redundancy additions on mitigating the impacts of cyber-attacks on system output performance. We found that redundancy with diversity can be effective in increasing resilience, although the reduction in attack-related costs must be balanced against added maintenance costs. Second, our work on attack countermeasure selection shows that by considering system output impacts across the duration of an attack, one can find more cost-effective attack responses than without such considerations. Third, we propose an approach to mission viability analysis for multi-UAV deployments facing cyber-attacks, which can aid resource planning and determining if the mission can conclude successfully despite an attack. We provide different implementations of our model components, based on use case requirements.

Nitrogen and fatigue on Ti-6Al-4V
Creators: name: Collins, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The work in this thesis was designed to aid the understanding of the effect of the ingress of nitrogen on diffusion bonded super plastically formed structures manufactured from the ubiquitous titanium alloy - Ti-6Al-4V. This wasn’t an abstract question but one originating from a desire to improve the communities knowledge of the integrity of in-service components that may have been affected by an ingress of air/nitrogen during manufacture. To achieve this, that aim was split down into smaller questions with experiments designed to answer each of those smaller questions allowing for a picture of the answer to the overall aim to be established. Those smaller questions were: • What effect does nitrogen have on the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V? • What effect does a vacuum environment have on the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V? • What effect does a vacuum environment coupled with a diffused gradient of nitrogen have on the fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V? The main takeaway conclusions for the reader should be the following: • A gradient of nitrogen diffused into an internal surface in a super-plastically formed component will lead to a reduction in the mechanical capability of that surface. • The nature of the gradient has a significant effect, a shallow deep diffusion profile will have less of a deleterious effect than a steep shallow diffusion profile as the higher concentrated content in the second case will lower the required localised strain to failure at the surface causing a crack to be initiated. However the depth of the diffusion profile will have a large bearing on the capability of the component to survive that initial starter crack. • Nitrogen content, the presence of a vacuum and the dominant underlying crystallographic texture of the material have significant effects on mode of fracture and the subsequent observable fractographic features. Care needs to be taken when examining fracture faces from super-plasctically formed titanium components or test samples to ensure the underlying crystallographic texture is understood and the presence of any diffused interstitial species is determined and characterised appropriately to enable more accurate conclusion to be drawn from any fractographic work.

description: Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες έχουν αναπτυχθεί πολλές νέες τεχνολογίες για την αποκατάσταση επιβαρυµένων περιοχών. Η χρήση των νανοσωλήνων άνθρακα θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει µια πολλά υποσχόµενη τεχνική περιβαλλοντικής αποκατάστασης, διότι οι ιδιότητες και η δοµή των συγκεκριμένων υλικών δύνανται να συµβάλλουν ουσιαστικά στην αποµάκρυνση ανόργανων, και οργανικών ρύπων.
Στα πλαίσια της παρούσα διπλωματικής εργασίας, διερεύνηθηκε η αλληλεπίδραση διαλύματος φορμαλδεΰδης με νανοσωλήνες άνθρακα και χαλαζιακή άμμο υπό διαφορετικές πειραματικές συνθήκες. Πραγµατοποιήθηκαν ισόθερμα, στατικά και δυναμικά πειράματα διαλείποντος έργου (batch) καθώς και κινητικά , δυναμικά και στατικά, στα οποία εξετάστηκε η προσροφητική ικανότητα διαλύματος φορμαλδεΰδης σε χαλαζιακή άμμο, πολυφλοιϊκούς νανοσωλήνες άνθρακα, τροποποιημένους ΜWCNTs-COOH (ΝΤΧ5) και μη (ΝΤΧ1), καθώς και σε μίγματα χαλαζιακής άμμου και νανοσωλήνων ΝΤΧ1.
Σκοπός ήταν ο προσδιορισμός της ικανότητας αποµάκρυνση της συγκεκριμένης οργανικής ένωσης από υδατικά διαλύµατα σε συνάρτηση µε την αρχική συγκέντρωση της ουσίας σε αυτά, παρουσία των προσροφητικών μέσων που αναφέρθηκαν. Επίσης, µελετήθηκε η επίδραση των παραµέτρων όπως η αρχική συγκέντρωση του διαλύματος φορμαλδεΰδης, ο χρόνος επαφής, η δόση προσροφητή και το είδος προσροφητή στην διεργασία προσρόφησης.
Πραγματοποιήθηκε προσδιορισμός της εναπομείνουσας συγκέντρωσης φορμαλδεΰδης στα υδατικά διαλύματα με χρήση υγρής χρωματογραφίας υψηλής απόδοσης και φασματοφωτομετρίας στην περιοχή του ορατού φάσματος.
Εξετάστηκε η κινητική της διεργασίας προσρόφησης μέσω προσομοίωσης των πειραματικών δεδομένων ,που λήφθηκαν και από τις δύο μεθόδους ανάλυσης, με διάφορα κινητικά μοντέλα καθώς και η ισορροπία της προσρόφησης με δημιουργία ισοθέρμων.

Στόχος της έρευνας αυτής ήταν η παρακολούθηση της αποδόμησης των συστατικών του πετρελαίου σε συνθήκες υψηλής πίεσης από θαλάσσιους πιεζοφιλικούς μικροοργανισμούς. Διερευνάται, πώς το πετρελαϊκό πλούμιο που δημιουργείται σε περιπτώσεις υποθαλάσσιας διαφυγής πετρελαίου και συνεχίζει να μετακινείται στα ίδια βάθη μπορεί να αποδομηθεί σταδιακά από τους μικροοργανισμούς,. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, προσομοιώθηκαν πειραματικά σε αντιδραστήρα υψηλής πίεσης οι συνθήκες που επικρατούν σε μεγάλα θαλάσσια βάθη (>1000m). Μελετήθηκε η βιοδιάσπαση πετρελαίου από αυτόχθονες σε συνδυασμό με πιεζοφιλικούς μικροοργανισμούς υπό πίεση καθώς και η επίδραση θρεπτικών συστατικών, σε διάλυμα θαλασσινού νερού. Η υψηλή πίεση στον αντιδραστήρα εφαρμόστηκε με την παροχή πεπιεσμένου μίγματος αέρα και αζώτου και διατηρήθηκε στο επίπεδο των 100bar. Η ποσοτικοποίηση των υδρογονανθράκων έγινε με την τεχνική αέριας χρωματογραφίας και φασματοσκοπίας μάζας (GC/MS). Η ποιοτική ανάλυση των δειγμάτων των μικροοργανισμών έγινε με τη μέθοδο χρώσης του DNA των κυττάρων με πορτοκαλί ακριδίνη (Acridine Orange). Παρατηρήθηκαν χαμηλά ποσοστά βιοαποδόμησης των υδρογονανθράκων του πετρελαίου τόσο σε συνθήκες ατμοσφαιρικής όσο και υψηλής πίεσης με χρήση της συγκεκριμένης πιεζοφιλικής μικροβιακής κοινότητας. Επίσης, ποσοτικοποιήθηκε ο ρυθμός διαλυτοποίησης του πετρελαίου στην υδατική φάση.

Non-contact measures to monitor hand movement of people with rheumatoid arthritis using a monocular RGB camera
Creators: name: Gionfrida, Letizia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Hand movements play an essential role in a person’s ability to interact with the environment. In hand biomechanics, the range of joint motion is a crucial metric to quantify changes due to degenerative pathologies, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a chronic condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, particularly those in the hands. Optoelectronic motion capture systems are gold-standard tools to quantify changes but are challenging to adopt outside laboratory settings. Deep learning executed on standard video data can capture RA participants in their natural environments, potentially supporting objectivity in remote consultation. The three main research aims in this thesis were 1) to assess the extent to which current deep learning architectures, which have been validated for quantifying motion of other body segments, can be applied to hand kinematics using monocular RGB cameras, 2) to localise where in videos the hand motions of interest are to be found, 3) to assess the validity of 1) and 2) to determine disease status in RA. First, hand kinematics for twelve healthy participants, captured with OpenPose were benchmarked against those captured using an optoelectronic system, showing acceptable instrument errors below 10°. Then, a gesture classifier was tested to segment video recordings of twenty-two healthy participants, achieving an accuracy of 93.5%. Finally, OpenPose and the classifier were applied to videos of RA participants performing hand exercises to determine disease status. The inferred disease activity exhibited agreement with the in-person ground truth in nine out of ten instances, outperforming virtual consultations, which agreed only six times out of ten. These results demonstrate that this approach is more effective than estimated disease activity performed by human experts during video consultations. The end goal sets the foundation for a tool that RA participants can use to observe their disease activity from their home.

description: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is the only readily available curative option for sickle cell disease (SCD). Cure rates following human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor HSCT with myeloablative or non-myeloablative conditioning are >90%. Alternative donor sources, including haploidentical donor and autologous with gene therapy, expand donor options but are limited by inferior outcomes, limited data, and/or shorter follow-up and therefore remain experimental. Outcomes are improving with time, with donor type and conditioning regimens having the greatest impact on long-term complications. Patients with stable donor engraftment do not experience SCD-related symptoms and have stabilization or improvement of end-organ pathology; however, the long-term effects of curative strategies remain to be fully established and have significant implications in a patient’s decision to seek therapy. This review covers currently published literature on HSCT outcomes, including organ-specific outcomes implicated in SCD, as well as long-term effects. HSCT, both allogeneic and autologous gene therapy, in the SCD population reverses the sickle phenotype, prevents further organ damage, can resolve prior organ dysfunction in both pediatric and adult patients. Data support greater success with HSCT at a younger age, thus, curative therapies should be discussed early in the patient’s life.

description: Οι αυξημένες ανθρωπογενείς δραστηριότητες των τελευταίων ετών ασκούν τεράστιες πιέσεις στα υπόγεια ύδατα, που αποτελούν για πολλές περιοχές τη μόνη πηγή εξασφάλισης νερού. Για την αποφυγή της περαιτέρω υποβάθμισης των υπόγειων αποθεμάτων είναι αναγκαία η ανάπτυξη ολοκληρωμένων σχεδίων που θα προάγουν την ορθή διαχείριση τους.
Στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης, είναι η διαχείριση του υπόγειου υδροφορέα της Αγυιάς Χανίων με συνδυασμό μοντέλου προσομοίωσης και βελτιστοποίησης. Η περιοχή παρουσιάζει έντονη υδροφορία και τροφοδοτεί την Πόλη των Χανίων και τις γύρω περιοχές με νερό τόσο για ύδρευση όσο και για άρδευση. Μελετάται η διάνοιξη νέων γεωτρήσεων για την κάλυψη των αυξημένων αναγκών κατά τη θερινή περίοδο, αναζητώντας τις βέλτιστες παροχές άντλησης χωρίς να προκαλείται μεγάλη πτώση στάθμης στον υδροφορέα.
Αρχικά, γίνεται προσπάθεια προσομοίωσης της υπόγειας ροής της περιοχής με χρήση του τρισδιάστατου μοντέλου ροής υπόγειων υδάτων και μεταφοράς ρύπων, PTC (Princeton Transport Code) και  επιχειρείται πρόβλεψη της μελλοντικής κατάστασης των υπόγειων υδάτων βάσει των καταγεγραμμένων πηγαδιών και του σημερινού ρυθμού άντλησης τους.
Στη συνέχεια, αναζητούνται οι βέλτιστες παροχές άντλησης  με τη χρήση Γενετικού Αλγόριθμου, ενός στοχαστικού αλγόριθμου εμπνευσμένο από τη βιολογική εξέλιξη, που κρίνεται ικανός για την αντιμετώπιση μη γραμμικών προβλημάτων. Για τη βελτιστοποίηση αναπτύχθηκε ένας κώδικας που  συνδέει το μοντέλο προσομοίωσης PTC με το περιβάλλον MATLAB, μέσω του οποίου πραγματοποιείται η διαδικασία της βελτιστοποίησης.
Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως υπάρχει η δυνατότητα διάνοιξης νέων γεωτρήσεων για την κάλυψη των αναγκών της περιοχής, χωρίς να προκαλείται σοβαρή ταπείνωση στον υδροφορέα.
Improving diagnostic approaches in extensively and multidrug resistant tuberculosis: new diagnostic tools and repurposing drugs against X/MDRTB
Creators: name: Gonzalo, Ximena
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Tuberculosis remains a major killer worldwide. Accurate, fast, and accessible diagnostics for both the disease and drug resistance remain challenges for tuberculosis (TB) control. In four different translational projects linked by the fact they dealt with laboratory diagnosis of drug resistance, I evaluated repurposed compounds and diagnosis of tuberculosis using resources already available in most microbiology laboratories in high-income countries and rapidly expanding to low and middle-income countries. Our aim was to utilise resources already available in most microbiology laboratories in high-income countries wherever possible with the belief that these systems would subsequently expand to low and middle-income countries. In Chapter 1, I found that the MGIT instrument missed true rifampicin resistance associated with specific rpoB mutations. This has now been overcome by the introduction of whole genome sequencing. In Chapter 2, carbapenems were tested against M. tuberculosis using different methodologies, showing that their role in the treatment of tuberculosis remains unclear. Testing in a more physiological model of the granuloma showed similar unclear results but confirmed the excellent activity of clofazimine, a drug that until recently could not be reliably tested in vitro. In Chapter 3, a MALDI-ToF MS lipidomic approach was used to identify M. tuberculosis and NTMs at species and some sub-species level. This approach could be easily introduced in UK microbiology laboratories today. In Chapter 4, urine was explored as a sample for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis using a lipidomic-MALDI-ToF MS approach and a PCR-based approach aiming to detect M. tuberculosis trans-renal DNA. Over the period of my PhD, I was part of the seminal projects that produced the evidence to introduce WGS for susceptibility testing and which recommended stopping routine phenotypic testing for these drugs. I was involved in the provision of phenotypic data, validation of comparative UK data, writing the standard operating procedure for DST and training technical staff to set up and read commercially available microtiter plates for slow growing mycobacteria. This included MGIT-based phenotypic test methodology which was used to pair with genotypic results. For first line drugs results were very good. Implementation of whole genome sequencing in the UK for the diagnosis, susceptibility testing and surveillance promised to overcome some of the issues mentioned above. However, 7 years later, a reliable phenotypic drug susceptibility testing methodology is desperately needed for both new compounds and to inform on those drugs for which genomic information is unclear or sparse. New understanding of pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics should also be incorporated in these models.

Examining recombination and intra-genomic conflict dynamics in the evolution of anti-microbial resistant bacteria
Creators: name: D'Aeth, Joshua
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among pathogenic bacterial species threatens to undercut much of the progress made in treating infectious diseases. AMR genes can disseminate between and within populations via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Selfish mobile genetic elements (MGEs) can encode resistance and spread between host cells. Homologous recombination can alter the core genes of pathogens with resistant donors via HGT too. MGEs may be cured from host genomes through transformation. Hence, MGEs may be able to avoid deletion by disrupting transformation. This work aims to understand how the dynamics of these processes affect the epidemiology of AMR pathogens. To understand these dynamics, I co-developed a new version of the popular recombination detection tool Gubbins. Through simulation studies, I find this new version to be both accurate in reconstructing the relationships between isolates, and efficient in terms of its use of computational resources. I then apply Gubbins to both AMR lineages and species-wide datasets of the pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. I find that recombination frequently occurs around core genes involved in both drug resistance and the host immune response. Additionally, an MGE was able to successfully spread within a population by disrupting the transformation machinery, preventing its loss from the host. Finally, I investigate two recent examples of MGEs disrupting transformation in the gram-negative species Acinetobacter baumannii and Legionella pneumophila. I find that while these insertions may decrease the efficiency of transformations within cells, the observed recombination rates largely reflect the selection pressures on isolates. With MGEs only partially able to inhibit these observable transformation events. These results show how selection pressures from clinical interventions shape pathogen genomes through diverse, often interspecies, recombination events. The spread of MGEs can also be favoured by both these selection pressures, and their ability to disrupt host cell machinery.

Modelling of microstructure sensitive short crack growth in Ni single crystals
Creators: name: Karamitros, Vasileios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Ni single crystal turbine blades have been extensively used in aerospace applications due to their high resistance to fatigue fracture under extreme loading and temperature conditions. The key to the high resistance of Ni single crystals at high temperature is the γ-γ' microstructure and the hardening of the γ' precipitates with temperature increase. However, research done so far has not fully addressed the effect of the microstructure to the fatigue life and predicted fatigue life across length scales. For this reason, microstructurally sensitive short crack growth has been investigated in Ni-based superalloy single crystals using an energy-based method to predict the crack path and growth rate across length scales. Short crack growth studied in homogenised γ-γ' Ni-based superalloy single crystal has achieved a good correlation of the predicted crack growth path and rate with experimental crack growth data. The broad applicability of this physics-based methodology was investigated at microstructural scale by developing Ni-based superalloy single crystal models that explicitly represent the γ and γ' phases. This enabled further research on the nature of crack path in γ-γ' microstructures and the role of crystallography, microstructural properties and the loading conditions on the crack path and the crack growth rate, with the crack paths and growth rates predicted at microstructural scale to achieve a good comparison with crack growth experiments at nanoscale. Therefore, the ability of modelling crack growth in γ-γ' microstructures has driven fundamental research on the physics of microstructurally short crack growth in Ni single crystals, the computation of Ni single crystal fatigue failure limits based on the stored energy per cycle at macroscale defining a critical stored energy (Gc) required for failure and the prediction of both short and long crack growth over thousands of loading cycles compared to extensive experimental data.

Characterization of Electrostatic Spray Breakup in Immiscible Fluid
Creators: name: Aljowaiser, Omar
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Electrostatic spray is a spray that is induced by an interaction between the surface charge on the liquid meniscus and the externally applied electrical field that forms a conical shape known as the Taylor Cone. Electrostatic spray can be seen in a variety of different fields in modern times, such as, agriculture, combustion, space propulsion, and medical applications. The experimental setup for any electrostatic spray consists of the following components: a syringe pump filled with an ionic fluid, a high voltage power supply, and a ground source. The orientation of the nozzle, set to a horizontal or vertical orientation, and the interface that is examined, liquid/air or liquid/liquid interface are two parameters that can vary from one setup to another while still using the same components to form the electrostatic spray. In this experimental study, the characteristic of the electrostatic spray of two immiscible fluids, liquid/liquid interface, with a horizontal nozzle orientation, was analyzed. The two immiscible fluids that were chosen for this experiment were olive oil, the ambient fluid, and pure ethanol, the working fluid. A set range of 0 – 5 kV with an increment of 0.5 kV was applied to the working fluid with a flowrate of 0.1 mL/min. The distance between the nozzle and the copper disk was also altered for three different distances, 22.09, 14.6 and 10.33 mm. Different patterns and trajectories were captured and analyzed using both a high-speed camera and a long exposure camera. Formation of vortices was recorded in the induced flow. The general trend was found was an increase in the droplets’ velocity with the increase of the applied voltage. Additionally, there was an increase in the droplets’ velocity was recorded as the copper disk was moved closer to the nozzle. A dimensional number, Jowaiser’s number Jo, has been proposed where it relates the electric forces to the inertial forces. It can be used to predicts the phase that the flow experiences. The four phases that a flow can experience are the droplet phase, transition phase, spray phase, and the shorting phase.

description: We assessed the efficacy, tolerability, and cost-effectiveness of a novel neoadjuvant regimen comprising docetaxel-cyclophosphamide alternating with epirubicin-cisplatin (ddDCEP) administered biweekly for 16 weeks in 116 patients with early triple-negative breast cancer. This regimen achieved a high pathological complete response (ypT0/TisN0) rate of 55.2% and favorable survival outcomes (30-month event-free survival, 91.2%; overall survival, 97%). Febrile neutropenia was observed in 4.3% of patients, and 98% completed at least six of eight cycles. ddDCEP was more cost-effective than contemporary carboplatin-based regimens. This novel approach offers an economically viable and effective alternative to current chemoimmunotherapy regimens, and merits further investigation.
Modern amplitude methods: the rise of massive effective field theories
Creators: name: Momeni, Arshia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Scattering amplitude methods are powerful tools to explore novel ideas in Quantum Field Theories and are of great phenomenological importance. These methods are useful across many areas in physics, from constraining the parameter space of low energy effective field theories (EFT) given assumptions about the UV, known as positivity bounds, to relating two different EFTs, known as the double copy. Most of these methods have been applied to EFTs with massless fields. Here, we focus on the application of these two modern amplitude methods to EFTs with massive spinning particles. To demonstrate the power of positivity bounds, we consider specific applications to different EFTs containing interacting massive spin-2 fields. These will determine whether these massive EFTs can have a crossing symmetric, local, unitary, and causal UV completion. An extension of the very well established double copy relation to massive particles is presented. To show the power of this formalism, various examples of massive double copy are explored such as the double copy of massive Yang-Mills and the double copy of topologically massive theories. Our formalism extends the range of applicability of the double copy framework and will guide our future effort to construct and understand massive EFTs.

description: Communication is a fundamental element in computing systems. Unfortunately, language design and typing support for communications programming are considerably underdeveloped in contrast to that for sequential programming. Session types, a typing discipline for structured interaction between concurrent processes, offers a promising approach. To date, however, there has been no implementation of session types for general-purpose, distributed communications programming. This thesis investigates the design and implementation of a practical communications- oriented language with session types. SJ is an extension of Java that supports a wide range of features studied in session type theory as well as new features developed to meet the demands of real-world application implementation. First, we discuss the core design of SJ and the integration of session types into Java. The central idea is the notion of communication endpoints as session-typed objects. SJ follows Java through explicit declaration of session types as protocol specifications; implementations are statically type-checked against their specifications by the SJ compiler to ensure the key property of communication safety. SJ supports asynchronous, distributed message passing, session delegation, and session subtyping with type-safe failure handling. Second, we evaluate SJ programming through several applications from different communications-based domains, including Web services, parallel algorithms and an SMTP server. These applications motivate and demonstrate novel SJ features, such as event-driven session programming and multisession operations. Our experiences of SJ programming highlight the benefits of session types for structured, safe and high-level communications programming. Third, we discuss the SJ Runtime implementation, which provides a comprehensive, transport-independent platform for executing session programs. Key components include safe, distributed session delegation, and type-directed zero-copy messaging in shared memory sessions. Benchmark performance evaluation shows that session-typed communication can be realised with minimal overhead. Finally, we formalise the SJ features for event-driven session programming and prove communication safety.

description: This study examines how social media platforms can facilitate greater visibility of Tunisian women in political communication activism to survive male politicians’ domination and the conventional media's boycott. The authors chose to focus on the case of Tunisian activist Abir Moussi to investigate how she uses Facebook for political mobilization and self-branding purposes. A monographic approach to the content of the Facebook page was carried out, along with a semiotic analysis of the speech given by Moussi on the decisions announced by President Kais Said on 25 July 2021. The results revealed a Facebook-Live-based communication strategy to address audiences as well as a large number of photos and videos. Besides, The Tunisian political activist used several linguistic elements in her discourse to make her political discourse effective, such as contrast, intertextuality, metaphor, etc. Unlike President Said, who uses Standard Arabic, the Tunisian political activist speaks the Tunisian dialect; Abir’s tone ranges from humorous, enthusiastic, provocative, menacing and promising; she provides her propaganda speech with legal texts and arguments to convince her audience, claiming to enlighten minds by simplifying ordinances and complex political terms. Moreover, she revealed several political and economic ‘hot issues’ that led to the Tunisian crisis. The authors conclude that social media does not create new ways of activism but rather amplifies traditional ones; they suggest enhancing the political efficacy of social media to boost political activism and emphasizing the concept of ‘online political efficacy’ in future research.

Invited session: Institutional language policies: aims, approaches and challenges.
Creators: name: Villares, Rosana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This invited session aims to discuss the ways in which universities are shaping their institutional language policies within their particular local, regional/national and international contexts. The session aims to address the considerations between these policy choices, and the ways in which our institutional language policies support our institutional visions and strategies. For instance, is English as an institutional language or as a medium of instruction merely a means for universities to demonstrate their internationalisation; or is it a means to realise something else? And how do our language policies change our universities and cities? The session also aims to reflect on the role of national policy discourses and language policies in higher education, such as (sub)national policies on home language instruction and regulations on teaching language(s). Where (sub)national language policies exist, do we see tensions between (sub)national and institutional language policies? And how is the European multilingual perspective working out? Speakers will address dilemmas and challenges that universities face in developing and implementing their language policies, and how the institutions deal with them. Are there any good policy practices we can identify (and if so, why can these be qualified as good)? With speakers from Germany, Spain, Finland and the Netherlands, this session takes an international comparative perspective to understand the different language policy discourses and approaches.

Marketing of Farm Products in Alaska - Our 49th State

description: Agricultural production is growing rapidly in Alaska, but farmers in our 49th State supply less than 10 percent of the food consumed there. In some areas of the State, it is cheaper to import even perishable products than to produce them locally. Milk, potatoes, eggs, and fresh vegetables are Alaska's principal farm products. Farmers generally market their products jointly through a farmers' cooperative or individually, selling directly to retailers and consumers. There are few assemblers, processors, and other dealers in locally grown farm products. Generally, products are not shipped far from the producing area. Extra shipping costs incurred by all imported foods make retail food prices higher in Alaska than in other States. Locally-produced food products also bring relatively high prices, but Alaskan farmers' costs also are higher than those of farmers in other States. The rate of growth in agricultural production in Alaska and the development of a marketing system will depend mainly on the growth and concentration of population and the proportion of the food market supplied by Alaskan farmers. This article describes the production and marketing of farm products in Alaska and the market for imported foods, and considers prospects for further growth.
