Overview

Hyperconnecté, chacun d'entre nous est devenu une proie pour les hackers, capables d'entrer sur nos comptes, de prendre possession de nos données personnelles, de bloquer nos activités par un virus. Mais bien au-delà des simples hackers, c'est un réseau complexe de criminalité qui s'est développé à grande échelle. La cybercriminalité est une nouvelle menace pour la sécurité des Etats : fuites de données, contrôle des équipements d'un pays... Les scénarios ne sont plus de la pure science-fiction. A partir d'histoires saisissantes, vécues sur le terrain, Gérôme Billois décrypte la cybercriminalité : - Son évolution depuis les débuts de l'informatique jusqu'aux attaques massives mais aux conséquences encore limitées des années 2000, puis aux enjeux géopolitiques des années 2015 à aujourd'hui. - Les profils des cyberattaquants et leurs motivations. - L'écosystème autour des attaquants : chercheurs de failles, créateurs d'outils d'attaques et de plateforme d'attaques (botnet), revendeurs de données et darkweb, blanchisseurs d'argent et de monnaies électroniques. - Les types d'attaques et leur déroulement. - Le futur de la cybercriminalité dans un monde toujours plus connecté, automatisé, robotisé. Un documentaire captivant et éclairant sur la plus grande menace de la prochaine décennie.

description: An extension of the algebraic-geometric method for nonlinear integrable PDE’s is shown to lead to new piecewise smooth weak solutions of a class of N-component systems of nonlinear evolution equations. This class includes, among others, equations from the Dym and shallow water equation hierarchies. The main goal of the paper is to give explicit theta-functional solutions of these nonlinear PDE’s, which are associated to nonlinear subvarieties of hyperelliptic Jacobians. The main results of the present paper are twofold. First, we exhibit some of the special features of integrable PDE’s that admit piecewise smooth weak solutions, which make them different from equations whose solutions are globally meromorphic, such as the KdV equation. Second, we blend the techniques of algebraic geometry and weak solutions of PDE’s to gain further insight into, and explicit formulas for, piecewise-smooth finite-gap solutions. The basic technique used to achieve these aims is rather different from earlier papers dealing with peaked solutions. First, profiles of the finite-gap piecewise smooth solutions are linked to certain finite dimensional billiard dynamical systems and ellipsoidal billiards. Second, after reducing the solution of certain finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems on Riemann surfaces to the solution of a nonstandard Jacobi inversion problem, this is resolved by introducing new parametrizations. Amongst other natural consequences of the algebraic-geometric approach, we find finite dimensional integrable Hamiltonian dynamical systems describing the motion of peaks in the finite-gap as well as the limiting (soliton) cases, and solve them exactly. The dynamics of the peaks is also obtained by using Jacobi inversion problems. Finally, we relate our method to the shock wave approach for weak solutions of wave equations by determining jump conditions at the peak location.

description: The Noether-Lefschetz theorem asserts that any curve in a very general surface $X$ in $\mathbb P^3$ of degree $d \geq 4$ is a restriction of a surface in the ambient space, that is, the Picard number of $X$ is $1$. We proved previously that under some conditions, which replace the condition $d \geq 4$, a very general surface in a simplicial toric threefold $\mathbb P_Σ$ (with orbifold singularities) has the same Picard number as $\mathbb P_Σ$. Here we define the Noether-Lefschetz loci of quasi-smooth surfaces in $\mathbb P_Σ$ in a linear system of a Cartier ample divisor with respect to a (-1)-regular, respectively 0-regular, ample Cartier divisor, and give bounds on their codimensions. We also study the components of the Noether-Lefschetz loci which contain a line, defined as a rational curve that is "minimal" in a suitable sense.

description: Graphene and boron nitride (GPBN) heterostructures provide a viable way to realize tunable bandgap, promising new opportunities in graphene-based nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. In the present study, we investigated the interplay between vacancies and graphene/h-BN interfaces in monolayer GPBN heterostructures. The energetics and kinetics of monovacancies and divacancies in monolayer GPBN heterostructures were examined using first-principle calculations. The interfaces were shown to be preferential locations for vacancy segregation. Meanwhile the kinetics of vacancies was found to be noticeably modified at interfaces, evidenced by the Minimum Energy Paths (MEPs) and associated migration barriers calculations. The role of interfacial bonding configurations, energy states and polarization on the formation and diffusion of vacancies were discussed. Additionally we demonstrated that it is important to recognize the dissimilarities in the diffusion prefactor for different vacancies for accurate determination of the vacancy diffusion coefficient. Our results provide essential data for the modeling of vacancies in GPBN heterostructures, and important insights towards the precise engineering of defects, interfaces and quantum domains in the design of GPBN-based devices.

title: “They don’t understand people with learning disabilities”: Exploring the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities who undergo welfare assessments.
Creators: name: Ward, Bethan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Individuals with intellectual disabilities are eligible for out of work and disability benefits within the United Kingdom (UK) welfare system. Research suggests that the welfare system causes psychological harm (Arie, 2018), which has been linked to work capability assessments (WCA; Barr et al., 2016). Existing studies on people who claim benefits (e.g. Allen et al., 2016) have not focussed on the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of this project is to explore the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities who undergo WCA and provide insight into potential interventions to reduce any psychological distress related to claiming benefits. Stigma is experienced by people who claim benefits (Baumberg et al., 2016) and people with intellectual disabilities (Scior, 2016). Stigma has been linked to psychological distress in people with intellectual disabilities (Ali et al., 2015) and people who claim benefits (Thompson, in press). Self-stigma may be particularly harmful (Boyd et al., 2014). It has been suggested that self-compassion may act as a buffer between self-stigma and distress (Wong et al., 2019). Therefore, Chapter One of the thesis comprises a systematic review of literature examining the relationship between self-stigma and self-compassion. The synthesis of twenty quantitative papers demonstrated consistent, inverse associations between self-compassion and self-stigma scores, suggesting that self-compassion could have potential benefits for reducing the impact of self-stigma. Chapter Two is an empirical paper exploring the lived experiences of eight people with intellectual disabilities in the UK, who were interviewed about their experiences of being assessed for welfare eligibility. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) suggested five closely related themes; living in fear; marginalisation; relationship with the assessor; others as a safe base; and finding value. The findings captured the distressing nature of the benefit assessment process for people with intellectual disabilities. Although this was an exploratory study, findings suggest that future research and interventions might be usefully targeted towards improving the experience of the assessment process, as well as clinically treating individual’s responses to the assessment process. Recommendations for change across individual, systemic and policy levels are included.

sh-Lie Algebras Induced by Gauge Transformations

description: Traditionally symmetries of field theories are encoded via Lie group actions, or more generally, as Lie algebra actions. A significant generalization is required when ‘gauge parameters’ act in a field dependent way. Such symmetries appear in several field theories, most notably in a ‘Poisson induced’ class due to Schaller and Strobl [SS94] and to Ikeda[Ike94], and employed by Cattaneo and Felder [CF99] to implement Kontsevich’s deformation quantization [Kon97]. Consideration of ‘particles of spin > 2 led Berends, Burgers and van Dam [Bur85, BBvD84, BBvD85] to study ‘field dependent parameters’ in a setting permitting an analysis in terms of smooth functions. Having recognized the resulting structure as that of an sh-lie algebra (L1-algebra), we have now formulated such structures entirely algebraically and applied it to a more general class of theories with field dependent symmetries.
Assessment on the local climate effects of solar parks
Creators: name: Makaronidou, Maria
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: Transition to low-carbon energy sources is the primary driver of the wide deployment of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies (solar parks). Despite of this notable land-use change impacts of solar parks on local climate and the associated ecosystem functions are poorly resolved. Field study conducted at a temperate UK grassland, showed cooler air and soil temperatures under panels during the growing season compared to the gap between the PV panel rows. Further, higher soil moisture under, during growing season compared to the gap and evidence for spatial variability on soil physical properties; likely the result of compaction and vegetation management during and after solar park construction. Microclimatic changes had no spatial effect on leaf area index nor net ecosystem exchange and water vapor fluxes. Acknowledging the effects of solar parks on soil temperatures HIS-PV (Heat-In a Solar PV park) model was built and sensitivity analyses reported that dense canopies and wet soils increased model errors during growing season whilst low dense canopies decreased model errors post-growing season. HIS-PV model was applied to simulate soil temperature, incoming short-wave (SW) and potential evaporation (PE) across different climatic zones. Annual incoming SW was strongly affected; control areas received 60% more solar radiation than under panels across all tested zones. Soil temperature and PE demonstrated the largest differences between under and control areas in arid environments, followed by evidence for lower amount of growing degree days under the panels at both the arid and the equatorial zones. Regardless of the wide solar parks’ deployment and the undoubtable importance of terrestrial ecosystems, local climatic changes caused by solar parks and implications for ecosystem services provided by the hosting landscape are poorly resolved. This study provides the first synthesis of emerging understanding in this area. Research findings are urgently needed to enhance understanding and thus explore the potential for managing solar parks to provide multiple ecosystem services.

description: We carry out a series of simulations of G2-type clouds interacting with the black hole at the galactic center, to determine why no large changes in the luminosity of Sgr A* were seen, and to determine the nature of G2. We measure the accretion rate from the gas cloud onto Sgr A* for a range of simulation parameters, such as cloud structure, background structure, background density, grid resolution, and accretion radius. For a broad range of parameters, the amount of cloud material accreted is small relative to the amount of background material accreted. The total accretion rate is not significantly effected for at least 30 years after periapsis. We find that reproducing observations of G2 likely requires two components for the object: an extended, cold gas cloud responsible for the Br-gamma emission, and a compact core or dusty stellar object dominating the bolometric luminosity. In simulations, the bolometric and X-ray luminosity have a peak lasting from about 1 year before to 1 year after periapsis, a feature not detected in observations. Our simulated Br-gamma emission is largely consistent with observations leading up to periapsis, with a slight increase in luminosity and a large increase in the FWHM of the line velocity. All emission from a gaseous component of G2 should fade rapidly after periapsis and be undetectable after 1 year, due to shock heating and expansion of the cloud. Any remaining emission should be from the compact component of G2.

Overview

Denis Bradley was born and raised in Buncrana, just 12 miles from the border with Northern Ireland. On joining the priesthood he found himself assigned to the cathedral parish in Derry city, arriving in the summer of 1970 as the streets were descending into chaos with the outbreak of the Troubles. An eyewitness to the wanton violence of Bloody Sunday, Bradley was spurred to become involved in the ‘backchannel’ as one of three men who would provide a secret link between the IRA and the British government for thirty years. Fervent in their belief that dialogue would bring peace, they brokered the crucial 1993 meeting between IRA men Martin McGuinness and Gerry Kelly and a British Intelligence agent codenamed ‘Fred’ . This was a vital step on the road to negotiations which would lead to the ceasefire and the Good Friday Agreement. Throughout it all, Bradley worked to combat addiction and homelessness in his adopted community, and made the difficult decision to leave the priesthood to marry. Once played out in the shadows, Bradley’s pivotal role in Northern Ireland’s peace process is finally illuminated in this engrossing memoir.
title: Efficient Dependability Assessment of Systems Software
Creators: name: Coppik, Nicolas
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Computing systems and the various services and applications they enable have become pervasive in our daily lives. We increasingly rely on these complex systems, including many systems built on general purpose hardware and software, to consistently provide important functionality. As we grow more and more dependent on such systems, we need to ensure that they are, in fact, dependable and that we can trust their ability to consistently provide the functionality we expect from them. Therefore, we need techniques for assessing and improving the dependability of such systems. To be practical, such techniques must not only be applicable to complex software systems, they need to scale with their increasing sizes. Common approaches to improve the dependability of software systems include testing techniques to find faults and dependability issues as well as techniques intended to predict the impact of residual software faults. Software Fault Injection (SFI) is an approach that can be useful in both contexts, for finding dependability shortcomings and estimating the impact of residual faults, whereas most other testing techniques, such as fuzzing, are primarily used to find faults. Many approaches to improve software dependability suffer from scalability issues and are difficult to apply to large, complex software systems, and particularly to systems software, such as operating system kernels. With this general background in mind, this thesis aims to improve the efficiency and precision of SFI techniques for systems software, as well as to develop novel guidance mechanisms for feedback-driven fuzzing. We develop a technique to trace error propagation in monolithic operating system kernels, apply it to modules from the widely used Linux kernel, and show that conventional oracles for SFI tests can misclassify a substantial fraction of seemingly successful executions. We then focus on accelerating SFI experiments since, due to increasing software complexity, comprehensive SFI testing requires an increasing amount of test executions, which in turn leads to long test latencies. Starting with user mode software, we develop a novel execution model that uses static and dynamic analysis to avoid redundant code re-execution and facilitates parallelization. Since long SFI test latencies are particularly problematic for systems which may require additional instrumentation to trace error propagation, we then develop a related approach to accelerate SFI experiments for kernel code, and apply it to the Linux kernel using error propagation analysis instrumentation and achieve substantial speedups. Finally, we develop a novel guidance mechanism for feedback-driven fuzzing that makes use of input-dependent memory accesses in the target program.
Mirror Symmetry on Kummer Type K 3 Surfaces

Year: 2003

description: We investigate both geometric and conformal field theoretic aspects of mirror symmetry on N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories with central charge c = 6. Our approach enables us to determine the action of mirror symmetry on (non-stable) singular fibers in elliptic fibrations of ZN orbifold limits of K3. The resulting map gives an automorphism of order 4, 8, or 12, respectively, on the smooth universal covering space of the moduli space. We explicitly derive the geometric counterparts of the twist fields in our orbifold conformal field theories. The classical McKay correspondence allows for a natural interpretation of our results.

The Electronic Properties of Phosphorene/Graphene and Phosphorene/Hexagonal Boron Nitride Heterostructures

description: Vertical integration of two-dimensional materials has recently emerged as an exciting method for the design of novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. Using density functional theory, we investigatethe structural and electronic properties of two heterostruc-tures, graphene/phosphorene (G/BP) and hexagonal boron nitride/phosphorene (BN/BP). We found that the interlayer distance, binding energy, and charge transfer in G/BP and BN/BP are similar. Interlayer noncovalentbonding is predicted due to the weak coupling between the pz orbital of BP and the π orbital of graphene and BN. A small amount of electron transfer from graphene and BN, scaling with the vertical strain, renders BP slightly n-doped for both heterostructures. Several attractive characteristics of BP, including direct band gap and linear dichroism, are preserved. However, a large redistribution of electrostatic potential across the interface is observed, which may significantly renormalize the carrier dynamics and affect the excitonic behavior of BP. Our work suggests that graphene and BN can be used not only as an effective capping layer to protect BP from its structural and chemical degradation while still maintain its major electronic characteristics, but also as an active layer to tune the carrier dynamics and optical properties of BP.

title: LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES: AN ACTION RESEARCH STUDY OF A DIVERSIFIED PRIVATELY-OWNED FAMILY BUSINESS IN MEXICO
Creators: name: Bastida Diaz, Jaime
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: The study aims to explore leadership issues in a privately-owned family business in Mexico and recommend actions to resolve these issues. Action research is the basis of the inquiry because it analyses a real-life problem in the studied organisation. This research strategy uses collaboration with diverse stakeholders to achieve change through knowledge creation from the collected data followed by actions to address the issues identified through research. Semi-structured interviews are used as the primary method for data collection. Participants were selected based on their knowledge and leadership responsibilities. Therefore, only top management was chosen to participate in this study. The findings reveal eight key leadership issues: a) inadequate segregation of duties and concentration of power, b) ineffective management philosophies and operating styles, c) conflicts of interest, d) weak HR policies, e) poor communication strategy, f) no clear organisational structure with well-defined roles and responsibilities, g) lack of trust between managers and CEOs, and h) conflicts in the family system. As part of the action research approach, three actions were recommended as strategical initiatives to achieve change. These actions include establishing a family business governance system, formalising the corporate strategy and family values, and strengthening the HR function. The study is different from other studies because it is based on action research which has not been considered in the literature on corporate governance. Additionally, most previous studies employed secondary data from public companies rather than interviews. Besides, the focus of the extant literature was mainly on developed countries with very little evidence from the Mexican context. Hence, the study represents an original approach to analyse a unique Mexican privately-owned family corporation using action research and primary data. Therefore, this study adds to the existing body of knowledge in the family business and covers an understudied developing context with an action research approach. The study has practical implications for detecting leadership issues and creating governance systems to control family businesses which are later discussed. In brief, the study provides valuable knowledge about personal issues in a family business in Mexico, which could help company leaders understand the importance of establishing family governance systems to create family boundaries, improve operations, reporting, and leadership performance.

title: Navigating the Rebel Archipelago: Orientation, Space and Communication in the “Autonomous” Scene
Creators: name: Gerbaudo, Paolo
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2010

description: This work discusses the dynamics of participants' orientation in the "autonomous scene": the space of participation of autonomous movements, anti-capitalist and antiauthoritarian movements practising direct action. My thesis examines how participants make sense of different situations of participation along their trajectory in the scene, and analyses the role played by a variety of communicative practices acting as "means of guidance" or "sources of orientation" inside the scene. It advances a performative understanding of cultural process, by focusing on the changing relationship between spatio-temporal coordination and communication, in a phase marked by the penetration of the Internet and mobile phones. The empirical analysis concentrates on the case of the autonomous scenes in Italy, Germany and the UK and on a series of global protest events attended by autonomous activists in recent years. With the use of participant observation, interviews and textual analysis I reconstruct how participants maintain a sense of place and a sense of direction in collective action and the specificity of different forms of communication that aid orientation. I develop an understanding of the experience of "autonomous activism" as marked by a striving for orientation in which activists are constantly on the brink of getting lost, because of the lack of a strong "guidance" as in the case of authoritarian movements. The autonomous scene comes to be framed as a navigational space in which many trajectories are possible, and it is down to participants to make sense of their own "itinerary". The thesis concludes that the autonomous scene displays forms of togetherness which recall the ephemerality of other antagonistic or subcultural groupings, yet testify to the problems encountered by social movements in the face of a liquid and individualised society.

title: Academics' Experiences of meeting Accreditation-related Research Requirements
Creators: name: Alexander-St-Cyr, Tessa
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: The study was conducted in a private off-shore University, based in the Caribbean. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of academics’, to highlight the catalysts and impediments encountered in meeting accreditation-related research requirements. The purpose of doing so is to use the findings to instigate reflection, review and action to improve the process of meeting these requirements. Typically, higher education institutions (HEIs) are categorized as teaching-intensive or research-intensive, public, or private, for-profit or not-for-profit. Regardless, a strong pressure is for HEIs to be both producers of researchers and places of learning. For HEIs to enjoy the recognition and benefits of offering accredited programs, they must comply with standards set by eternal accreditation bodies. This can add to the teaching-research tension that is widely reported in HEIs. For teaching-intensive HEIs, accreditation can intensify this tension, as there are often research requirements which are not part of existing practice. But, although literature on the research-teaching tension is widespread, literature on its relationship to accreditation is sparse. This study explored academics’ experiences in meeting accreditation-related research requirements, within their practice as part of an externally accredited program. The research questions were: (1) How do academics understand their role as researchers in externally accredited programs? (2) How do accreditation-related research requirements affect academics’ work? (3) How do academics strategically maintain research outputs to meet accreditation-related research requirements? This study employed a qualitative case study design. Using purposive sampling, the sample consisted of 10 academics (3 academic heads and 7 faculty members), representing the 3 externally accredited programs within a single institution. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analysis conformed to Creswell’s (2009) steps for data analysis. Four common themes were found. Those were: theme 1- academics’ understanding of their research role, theme 2 - dynamics between academic roles, theme 3 - institutional research culture and academics’ agency and theme 4 – strategizing for research productivity. More specifically, the findings show research is deemed secondary due to a dominance of other academic roles, low research productivity and the practice of research for promotion. Furthermore, being a researcher is challenging as a result of low institutional research culture, poor internal research structure, time constraints, faculty-related matters and collaboration issues. Additionally, although the accreditation-related research requirements had mixed impact on the academics’ work, the most prominent was on their teaching activities. Moreover, despite the use of varied strategies for the maintenance of research outputs, the most frequent were research committees, special initiatives, and projects.

Overview

'Immensely readable and revealing' The Guardian 'A must read' Phil Liggett, MBE 'A story like no other in cycling' Ned Boulting IMAGINE COMPETING IN THE WORLD'S MOST BRUTAL CYCLE RACES, KNOWING THAT A CRASH COULD BE FATAL Alex Dowsett is one of Britain's greatest cyclists. He has ridden Grand Tours and Classics for elite teams including Sky and Movistar and broke the iconic World Hour Record – the ultimate time trial challenge. With humour, insight and honesty, Alex recounts his years as a pro-cyclist and the challenges he has faced in his struggle to reach the top. Alex has achieved all this despite being the only able-bodied elite sportsperson in the world with haemophilia A. He describes how the condition – in which falls can be fatal – both blighted his young sporting life, and boosted his determination to succeed. Every professional cyclist requires courage, but Alex takes fearlessness to another level in a sport where injury and suffering are a given. With an all-star cycling cast, including Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Mark Cavendish and Lance Armstrong, this pulsating book lifts the lid on life in the peloton at the world's top level. From his highs – including Giro d'Italia stage victories – to his frustrations at the injustices he faced in the sport, Alex's memoir perfectly chronicles a career in which he was driven equally by love and rage. Combining Alex's personal triumphs with his unique take on being part of the golden age of British cycling, this is an unmissable tale of sporting endeavour. 'A fascinating insight into the mindset of an elite sportsman who overcame great odds to reach the very top' Simon Brotherton 'The humblest super-talent in the peloton, proving nice guys can win. A wonderful book' Carlton Kirby 'An inspiration for anyone who wants to do whatever they're told they can't.' Michael Hutchinson 'Such an inspiring tale. Poignant and moving, and told with forthright honesty' Peter Cossins
