title: Social and Moral Education Through Drama: A Force For Change
Creators: name: Al-Bustan, Lamees Ahmed
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2002

description: From its organised origins, there has always been a view that drama has had an educational potential. For much of its history drama has been tied to the religious, moral and social aspects of the community in which it has been produced. This dissertation is a consideration of the educational potential of drama and theatre as a social and moral force. It will examine some contemporary educational debates and will provide a broad background of the relationship of drama to social and moral education. The dissertation will also examine the Drama in Education movement in Britain and its relationship with social and moral education. For the purpose of this research, the consideration of both the development of drama and the debate of where best to place drama in relation to theatre, English and other Arts in Britain is examined to draw out conclusions and recommendations for the Kuwaiti context. Given that the Kuwaiti experience is largely about theatre, the renewed relationship between school drama and theatre in Britain will be considered to help to identify not only the development of drama in schools, but also various ways in which aspects of drama have evolved and what lessons can be learnt from the British experience. This will ultimately assist in devising guidelines for drama and theatre to be implemented in the Kuwaiti context. The key focus of this dissertation is not the research on the British experience, but rather on the conclusions that can be drawn from it. The British experience has provided the essential material for identifying trends, key questions, lessons to be learnt and recommendation in the re-evaluation of drama and theatre in Kuwait. The research will conclude with a proposed theoretical and practical framework of how it would be possible to introduce drama, for the first time, into the Kuwaiti education system and as a way to revitalise its theatre movement.
Higher Urinary Sodium, a Proxy for Intake, Is Associated with Increased Calcium Excretion and Lower Hip Bone Density in Healthy Young Women with Lower Calcium Intakes

description: We assessed 24-h urinary sodium (Na) and its relationship with urinary calcium (Ca) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at the whole body, lumbar spine and total hip in a cross-sectional study. 102 healthy non-obese women completed timed 24-h urine collections which were analyzed for Na and Ca. Dietary intakes were estimated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Participants were grouped as those with lower vs. higher calcium intake by median split (506 mg/1000 kcal). Dietary Na intake correlated with 24-h urinary loss. Urinary Na correlated positively with urinary Ca for all participants (r = 0.29, p < 0.01) and among those with lower (r = 0.37, p < 0.01) but not higher calcium intakes (r = 0.19, p = 0.19). Urinary Na was inversely associated with hip aBMD for all participants (r = −0.21, p = 0.04) and among women with lower (r = −0.36, p < 0.01) but not higher (r = −0.05, p = 0.71) calcium intakes. Urinary Na also entered a regression equation for hip aBMD in women with lower Ca intakes, contributing 5.9% to explained variance. In conclusion, 24-h urinary Na (a proxy for intake) is associated with higher urinary Ca loss in young women and may affect aBMD, particularly in those with lower calcium intakes.

AUTONOOMSETE SÜSTEEMIDE KULUMÕJUD

description: Applying reliable mechanisation, automation, and/or autonomy in well-understood domains (mostly critical non-operational functions) can help to significantly save from expenses and improve efficiency. In some cases, an application of various autonomous systems could improve and enhance the capability of conventional systems used in the operational domain. However, if we only considered saving on personnel and equipment then changes in environmental conditions, the weather, operating theatre factors such as the terrain, and operational tasks would mean that, currently, it is very difficult to fully replace the capabilities of conventional systems with an autonomous alternative. Therefore, it should not yet be considered an option to save on resources. Technology is constantly evolving and should regularly be revisited. Cost is not the only reason for automating systems. Technology could decrease casualties and save lives in many areas, for example in autonomously resupplying the troops on the front line. It is important to continue researching and developing the area of autonomy. The developed methodology enables us to compare existing systems with autonomous alternatives. It is advisable to adopt this approach as a standard for comparing systems. Over time, it will provide us with a more comprehensive understanding of the cost implications of developing autonomy. This study focuses on the cost-related aspects of implying autonomy by using a system of systems approach. We adopted a scenario-based method and considered (1) changes in expenses and (2) changes in performance under circumstances where an existing system is replaced with an autonomous system, noting that automation is not always applied directly in the place of a conventional system. The expenses include second and third order effects. The organisational changes considered herein range from removing human operators from a platform to the potential defence capabilities in the case an autonomous resupply system is used on the front line.

description: The objective of this study is to longitudinally explain the coherence between a perception of autonomy, self-efficacy, appreciation of training and desire to quit, as well as the ways in which these motivational aspects affect learning outcomes and early inclusion in the reserve forces in the course of a soldiers’ basic course. The study was conducted in 2019 in the Kuperjanov Infantry Battalion; data was gathered from 321 conscripts twice during the soldiers’ basic course; the average age of respondents was 19.9 years, whereas 1.56% of them were female. The motivational aspects perceived during training were determined with an electronic questionnaire and the learning outcomes were determined according to the results of the soldiers’ basic course exam; the proportion of conscripts leaving the service ahead of time was an indication of the attrition rate according to the administrative data. Analysis was conducted with Structural Equation Modelling method, including Cross Lagged Panel Model and Mediation Analysis. The hypotheses of the study were, to a large extent, confirmed: conscripts’ perception of autonomy positively influenced their self-efficacy and negatively their intention to quit. Moreover, a greater perception of autonomy is positively related with the training outcomes of conscripts and negatively with an early inclusion in the reserve forces. Autonomy perceived earlier in the training, however, was not related with a subsequent appreciation of training. The study has some constraints such as a limited generalisation of the results in the example of a single unit or an exclusion of other potential aspects (learning environment or other) that might have an impact. Despite the constraints, the results of the study are valuable since they provide new knowledge about the validity of general education findings in the context of military training of conscripts in the Estonian Defence Forces.

description: The aim of this article is to give an open-eyed insight into what good leadership looks like without the usual cliché-ridden platitudes that may provide momentary feelings of inspiration but prove to be hollow in practice. The authors discuss their personal experience with leadership, support it with credible sources, and throughout maintain an understandable and direct manner. The work carries with it a healthy amount of cynicism, blunt statements, and critical views into the U.S. Air Force. The aim is to provide straightforward mentorship for those seeking frank and honest leadership advice currently lacking in the earlier ranks. The article begins with a discussion on why bad leaders exist in the Air Force: a topic of which every service member has knowledge but it seems to be taboo to publicly acknowledge it. Poor leaders may graduate from the Squadron Officer School, the NCO Academy, or even the Air Command & Staff College. Poor leaders maintaining successful careers is something that is not supposed to happen, but it does, and it must first be acknowledged in order to be addressed. The first part of this article provides the reader with practical lessons on good leadership, focusing on aspects such as humility, followership, empowerment, and mentorship. True leadership is not a single aspect but the sum of them all. The second part provides an example for how some key principles of good leadership may be carried out in practice. It is one thing to tell someone to lead, it is quite another to offer them something they can reasonably emulate. Paraphrasing Winston Churchill: it is a tragedy if a man finds himself unprepared or unqualified in the moment that could have turned out to be his finest hour.

description: In the recent years, numerous studies have been published on information influence activities such as mis- and disinformation or inauthentic behaviour on social media, mainly concerning their prevalence, characteristics, and causes. Yet, comprehensive research on the manner in which governments manage this “information disorder” has remained largely on the sidelines, contributing to a lack of knowledge when it comes to adequate responses to information influence activities. This study seeks to contribute to relevant literature by focusing on the responses of the Baltic States to Russian information influence. The main objective of this article is to examine and compare Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian governmental responses to Russian information influence activities. In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding on the ways in which the Baltic States have dealt with information influence in general and which countermeasures the three countries have undertaken, focusing on the setup of strategic communication, media literacy in formal education, and media policy, the author of this article analysed the main strategic documents and interviewed state officials. In order to make sense of various strategies that different democracies might opt for, the author used the analytical framework proposed by Hellman and Wagnsson (2017). The research focuses on governmental action, excluding the activities of the media and the third sector, such as independent fact-checking or educational projects. The author argues that although the approach adopted by the Baltic States to counter the Russian information influence is generally quite similar, the three countries have different understandings about the extent to which the state should regulate the media to achieve its goals. Latvia and Lithuania seek to actively shape the media environment, either through supporting the media to encourage media literacy and raise awareness, or by restricting access to Russian television channels to respond to the incitements of hatred. Estonia, on the other hand, decided to develop its own Russian-language public media as an alternative to the Russian information space that is still influential.

description: This article analyses the main historical narratives and events of Latvia and Estonia concerning the Second World War, fascism, and the Soviet period more generally, and their representation in the pro-Kremlin ideological discourse. Moscow is using several narratives and messages to try to influence different target audiences in Russia, but also in Estonia and Latvia (especially the Russophone audience) with its own interpretation of the historical events and narratives concerning Estonia, Latvia, the Soviet Union, and the Second World War. Several different channels are used to promote the pro-Kremlin ideological agenda: not only profound historical studies (monographs, collective volumes, and articles), popular-scientific overviews, conferences, workshops and seminars, but also TV series, social media platforms, documentaries, and so on. Even more materials are available to the narrow audience that has a strong interest in contemporary history, especially the Soviet period and the Second World War. The main topics of these narratives are the Second World War and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact (1939), the occupation of Estonia and Latvia by the USSR, both in 1940 and in 1944, and the consequential post-war Soviet era. The main actors that design the pro-Kremlin understandings of Estonian and Latvian history are undoubtedly state officials, i.e. the president and his entourage. Major subjects such as the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (1939), the annexation of Latvia and Estonia in 1940, and the activities of the Latvian Legion and Estonians in the Second World War in 1941–1944 are presented in a manner that is characteristic to the Soviet propaganda and historical science. According to the pro-Kremlin discourse, the Soviet–German pact on non-aggression and the delimitation of the spheres of influence were forced into existence by the inactiveness of the Western allies and the unwillingness of the USSR to enter into the war. Moreover, according to the official Kremlin narrative, Latvians and Estonians should think of the USSR (and its legal successor the Russian Federation) as the force that saved them from being in the same position as the countries that were defeated in the war that had collaborated with the Nazis.

description: On November 11-12, 2011 the UBC Centre for Sport and Sustainability held its second think tank on the topic of Sport Mega-Event Impacts, Leveraging, and Legacies. This invitational event brought together twenty leading researchers from across the globe for an intensive two-day session. The event was also preceded by a one-day graduate student symposium. Sport mega-events have taken on an increasingly visible and prominent role in cities and countries around the world. Commanding a massive expenditure of valuable resources, these events have been linked and debated in regards to their positive and negative economic, social, and environmental benefits. Today a burgeoning consensus exists; one that argues for conceptions of planned legacies as the outgrowth of ongoing impact evaluation, strategic leveraging, and broad-based consultation. This Think Tank has been designed to advance the field of planned legacies by providing the kinds of detail and conceptual analysis to reconcile gaps in impact evaluation, legacy definition, and leveraging strategies while remaining mindful of locally meaningful contexts.

description: The objective of this article is to outline the ways in which the media constructs the ability of Estonia and NATO to resist e-threats from international actors and the changed information environment. I wanted to describe the thematic narratives, the manner in which the characters and activities are portrayed, and determine which narratives featured signs of securitisation. For this purpose, I searched for articles published in the Estonian media before, during, and after the cyber security incidents of 1 November 2020 and 31 March 2021, using predetermined keywords with the Station. ee media monitoring tool. After constructing the sample, I analysed 109 thematic articles from various publications and encoded them with MaxQda software. From these publications, I identified 11 narratives and divided them into four thematic clusters: hybrid threats from Russia (1. “Information war is particularly dangerous in Russia’s case, as it is a precursor for military aggression,” 2. “The West is overly paranoid about Russia’s propaganda machine,” and 3. “Russian information operations have convinced many that Sputnik is the only safe vaccine.”), an expansion of Chinese resources and influence (4. “China applies spying, manipulation, and economic power to avoid criticism on human rights’ violations,” 5. “Technological advancements make China a dangerous superpower,” and 6. “China aims to export and realise the party’s authoritarian values internationally.”), the weakened international status of Estonia as an e-state (7. “Estonia has failed as an e-state because not enough e-solutions were used during the pandemic,” and 8. “Estonia lacks a political will to adequately coordinate information security.”), and modern information environment as a global security threat (9. “Radicals prepare themselves in the cyberspace and go on to wreak havoc in the physical world,” 10. “Information environment has made spying and attacking national systems easy and catching criminals hard,” and 11. “NATO has not been able to adequately adapt with the new strategic environment.”). Since narratives can be fragmented and intertwined in media texts, a narrative analysis is often subjective and open to interpretation by a researcher. In order to mitigate this risk, I asked some experts in the defence field to evaluate the narratives: whether these are new or developed from earlier narratives, which party could benefit from their spreading, and whether the narratives are efficient.

Something old, something new: Integrating canonical works in a German Studies curriculum
Creators: name: Frackman, Kyle
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing
Year: 2013

description: This essay focuses on advanced-level German instruction and advocates an open, flexible approach to integrating the recommendations of the much-discussed 2007 MLA report on “Foreign Languages and Higher Education.” Specifically, language, literature, film, and cultural studies are combined to allow for the development of transcultural competence at the advanced level, while also fostering advanced capacities in German. Informing the discussion is an examination of changing demands on German Studies curricula and their inclusion or exclusion of canonical material. Bringing together a wide range of cultural products facilitates students' consideration of cultural/historical contexts, relationships and similarities and differences among characters, and connections to the students' own experiences. Student goal-setting, assessment, and evaluation help to direct the trajectory of the advanced course, avoiding the common problem of underdefined or undertheorized pedagogies past the intermediate level.

Per ricordarlo, l’articolo si sofferma su un episodio singolo, Il lavoro teatrale del 1969, attraverso la testimonianza di Valeriano Gialli che di quello spettacolo fu uno degli attori. al quale Carlo Quartucci era particolarmente affezionato. Per Quartucci Il lavoro teatrale era tante cose insieme: la seconda collaborazione con Jannis Kounellis, il ritorno alla Biennale di Venezia dopo Zip, l’anticipo di qualcosa che accadrà compiutamente solo con Camion, la sua prima vera comparsa come regista-servo di scena; ma, soprattutto, un gesto di grande libertà di ricerca.

description: In this paper, we analysed the ways in which Russian state-funded news portals have used certain articulations of blame regarding the adoption of the 5G cellular technology for strategic purposes. In the Kremlin-backed Russophone and Anglophone media, the coverage of 5G technology has revealed a multilayered blame discourse. In this discourse, the US is depicted as a distributor of false information on the 5G technology, groundlessly slandering China and forcefully pressuring its allies; China has also accused the US for its pressuring politics. Both the Russophone and Anglophone coverages were characterised by the following: even though the US accusations against China originated mainly from American politicians, the stories and their tone were framed by comments (both by experts and journalists), highlighting the groundless nature of these accusations. The main differences between Russophone and Anglophone media are the following. Firstly, the Russophone media over-emphasised the pressure that the US put on its allies. Secondly, at the end of the analysed period, the Russophone media explicitly presented, for the first time, Russian position in the global confrontation between the US and China. Evidently, Russia supports the technological alliance with China because they “trust them more than the USA”. Strategic narratives can be interpreted on three levels: on a policy, identity, and system level. On the level of a strategic policy narrative, the blaming devices used in both Russophone and Anglophone media outlets concerned two aspects. Firstly, it was stressed that the US government has not presented any clear evidence to the public about the security risks accompanying the use of Chinese 5G technologies; thus, the US accusations against China are, in fact, slander. The other aspect concerns a depiction of the confrontation between the US and China in terms of a trade war policy narrative: by smearing China, the US is, in fact, covering up its actual concern about coming off as the second-best from the economic and technological progress race with China.

description: In spring of 2020, a study was published on conspiracies/conspiracy theories regarding the projection of the coronavirus in Russian state-financed Anglophone media outlets RT and Sputnik. In our analysis, we outlined five major motifs regarding the narration of conspiracies and conspiracy theories in RT and Sputnik. Russian outlets generally express explicitly negative attitudes towards conspiracy theories. However, we detected two peculiarities of strategic narration in such representations: (a) criticism towards conspiracy theories and (b) conspiracy-based explanation of the circulation of conspiracy theories. We identified three motifs regarding the criticism on conspiracy theories. First, the viral dissemination of conspiracy theories that blame 5G for the rapid spreading of COVID-19 was fiercely condemned in RT and Sputnik for being an expression of irrational fear and weakness of the Western people. The growing popularity of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories was denounced in a similar, sometimes even ridiculing manner. Conspiracy theories that refer to the coronavirus as a bioweapon were treated as a particularly dangerous form of COVID-19 infodemic and the USA leaders were severely condemned for spreading them. These three motifs enabled RT and Sputnik to position themselves as media-literate and critical channels. In relation with these three motifs, we distinguished two dominant ways in which RT and Sputnik are using a strategic depiction of conspiracy theories. Firstly, an anti-conspiracy discourse was used to support the strategic narrative of the Russian Federation in their general resentfulness towards the West, i.e. a story about a morally corrupt elite and frightened, easily manipulative people. Such a narrative enables to strengthen the anti-Western attitudes and present the Russian Federation and the people who consume Russian media as insightful and moral agents. Secondly, the Russian Anglophone media outlets presented selective criticism on conspiracy theories. The USA, EU, and the Western mainstream media were blamed for voicing and circulating COVID-19 plots.

Abstracts des zugehörigen Buchs, siehe https://eref.uni-bayreuth.de/43976/: Mathematische Methoden wirken - oft im Verborgenen - an zahlreichen Schlüsselstellen unseres Wirtschaftssystems. Ferner werden ökonomische Prinzipien oft in der Sprache der Mathematik besonders prägnant und unmissverständlich formuliert. Dieses modular aufgebaute Lehrbuch führt Studienanfänger an mathematisches Denken in ökonomischen Zusammenhängen heran: Ausgehend von elementaren Fragen aus den Bereichen der Finanzierungs-, Produktions- und Konsumtheorie werden mathematische Kernkompetenzen durch Modellierung entwickelt und darauf aufbauend die gängigsten Rechenverfahren einstudiert. Dabei wird der Stoff- und Detailumfang so beschränkt, dass er im Rahmen einer drei- bis vierstündigen Vorlesung vermittelbar ist. Damit ist das Buch besonders geeignet für Studierende mit Startschwierigkeiten und für Dozenten, die viele Themen in kurzer Zeit abdecken müssen. Behandelt werden Funktionen, Lineare Algebra, Lineare Optimierung, Differenzialrechnung in einer und mehreren Variablen, Differenzierbare Optimierung und Integralrechnung.
ANTITEETILINE IDENTITEEDILOOME VENEMAA FÖDERATSIOONI STRATEEGILISTES NARRATIIVIDES

description: This article serves three main goals. The first goal is largely theoretical as the article seeks to develop an original framework of analysis, connecting collective identity formation with strategic narratives. According to Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe from the Essex School of Discourse Analysis, political identities always entail a form of antagonism, a type of exclusion. Connecting this notion with the framework of the Tartu–Moscow Semiotic School allows me to delineate how the nature of such an exclusion can be used to interpret the goals of these narratives. In the present case, I will focus my efforts on antithetical identity: the idea of a collective “self ” being first and foremost perceived in relation with its polar opposite. As a strategic narrative, antithetical identity formation entails a specific form of projection: the image of an enemy is first created internally and then used to consolidate the power of a given hegemon. The second goal of the article is to demonstrate the ways in which an antithetical identity formation can become dangerous to others and how this threat can be dealt with. First, I will outline the ways in which the discursive strategies of 1) semiotic disarming, 2) discursive mimicry, 3) preventive projection, 4) moral victimisation, and 5) justified aggression are used to legitimate attacks against alleged adversaries and as a means to avoid blame. Then, I will illustrate how an antithetical identity can lead to a security dilemma and how this can be alleviated by applying an inverted reading model of the narrative. The third goal of the article is to argue that the forces guiding Russian foreign policy towards the West can be better understood through the lens of an antithetical identity formation. Relying on numerous secondary sources, I will investigate the strategic narratives of 1) “the Russophobic West”, 2) Russia as a “besieged fortress“, and 3) Russia as the ruler of the “Russian world”. Drawing from these, I will interpret the narratives of 4) “Ukraine as a fascist state”, and 5) “the European Union in decay” that have been used to justify Russian aggression towards the two.

description: Discussions about state-sponsored communication with foreign publics are increasingly framed in the language of “information war” rather than “public diplomacy,” particularly in Eastern Europe. For example, media projects supported by Western governments to engage Ukrainian audiences, and the efforts of the Ukrainian government to engage international audiences via the media are considered necessary responses in information war with Russia. This article highlights several potentially problematic assumptions about communicative influence that are embedded in the language of information war. First is the assumption that communication can be targeted like a weapon to achieve a predictable impact. Second is the assumption that audiences relate to the communication of an adversary because they are “vulnerable.” Third is the assumption that “winning” in information war means getting citizens to believe particular facts. Although these assumptions may hold to some degree, this article argues that adopting them uncritically may have detrimental consequences in policymaking.

Slice orientation and muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation determine the involvement of N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subunit GluN2B in hippocampal area CA1 long-term depression

description: Background: The contribution of different GluN2 subunits of the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor to the induction of bidirectional hippocampal synaptic plasticity is a controversial topic. As both supporting and refuting evidence for the hypothesis of subunit specialization in opposing directions of plasticity has accumulated since it was first proposed a few years ago, we hypothesize that differences in experimental conditions may have in part contributed to some of the inconsistent results from these studies. Here we investigate the controversial hypothesis that long-term depression (LTD) is preferentially induced by GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors in area CA1 of hippocampal slices. Results We find that brain slices from 2-3 week old rats prepared in the sagittal orientation have GluN2B-independent LTD whereas slices prepared in the coronal orientation have GluN2B-dependent LTD. There was no difference between the orientations in the fraction of the NMDAR EPSC sensitive to a GluN2B-selective antagonist, leading us to believe that the intracellular signaling properties of the NMDARs were different in the two preparations. Coronal slices had greater association of LTD-related intracellular signaling protein RasGRF1 with GluN2B relative to sagittal slices. Antagonism of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in the sagittal slices returned LTD to a GluN2B-dependent form and increased the association of GluN2B with RasGRF1. Conclusions These results suggest a novel form of NMDAR modulation by mAChRs and clarify some disagreement in the literature.
Harmonic Refinement: A Mathematical Framework for Understanding Complex Systems

description: We present a novel mathematical framework for understanding anddescribing the intricate relationships between chaotic and cohesive forcesin complex systems. Our framework, termed harmonic refinement, inte-grates concepts from unification theory, logical cohesion, and non-lineartransformation to provide a robust foundation for analyzing and refiningcomplex systems. We derive a harmonic refinement equation and intro-duce refinement metrics to quantify the effectiveness of harmonic refine-ment. Our framework has far-reaching implications for complex systemgovernance, system optimization, and emergent property analysis.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Book of Abstracts

description: This document presents the Q-SORT Second International Conference on Quantum Imaging and Electron
 Beam Shaping Proceedings in the form of a Book of Abstracts (BoA).
 The BoA fulfils several functions. First of all, it provides readers with abstracts for all the topics of all the
 talks and all the posters presented at the conference, including the Science Bash by Prof. Miles Padgett,
 an outreach initiative aimed at engaging high-school students in Erlangen, and the Making Open Science
 Work For You special seminar on ZENODO and OpenAIRE, held by Najla Rettberg and Tim Smith.
 Secondly, the BoA provides a list of all participants with their contact details. Finally, it is meant as a
 memento of the conference for all participants.
 The Book of Abstracts was printed in 100 copies and distributed to all the conference attendees.
 This year’s design for the Book of Abstracts was harmonised with the redesign of the inner fold of the A4
 Q-SORT brochure, as both were part of the Welcome Pack for the participants.

description: The modern security environment has been constantly changing in the recent years. The wars of tomorrow will no longer necessarily be a conventional confrontation between two armies on restricted battlefields to which we are historically accustomed, but rather a battle between competing narratives, supported by a limited number of special military operations. Instead of human lives, the target of modern information warfare will be knowledge, and strategic imagination will be the method for creatively and critically assessing possible scenarios of new security threats. This new situation could be called Global War of Knowledge; its strategic goal would be to affect the emotions of an opponent, create cultures of fear and insecurity around them, and make them behave irrationally. We are increasingly confronted with psychological warfare, but also with ideological warfare that has been successfully applied by revisionist powers whose strategic goals are related with the changing status quo (Russia, China, Iran, etc.). Information warfare conducted by revisionist powers is aimed at weakening the foundations of the Western liberal democratic society. The Internet and social media networks are turning into a promising battleground in the Global War of Knowledge. Digitalised communication tools are skilfully used, especially for manipulating national and international public opinions. Using examples of apparent troll activities on the web, the authors discuss prospective methods in the Global Knowledge Warfare, among others, targeting democratic elections, targeting public opinion, attacking the reputation of public figures, creating chaos, building historical myths, promoting own leaders’ images, insulting Western liberal values, scorning key government policies, and exaggerating difficulties.
