Moving up North by Olivette Otele

“…The article is aimed at demonstrating that 20th and 21st century histories of resilience and recovery from trauma, challenge the overrepresentation of stories of deceptions or victimhood. Using archival material from the Refugee Council in London, the article analyses how bureaucracy, policies and politics, amplified by public opinion and media interventions, have in fact derailed the stated aim of integration of these populations. …”

Distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles by Haibo ZHANG, Yukun CAO, Kaijian LIU, Ruyan WANG

“…Aiming at the security problems caused by the low efficiency and accuracy of malicious vehicle identification in Internet of vehicles, a distributed trust management scheme based on blockchain in Internet of vehicles was proposed.A false information identification strategy was designed by aggregating the scoring information of vehicles, combined with Bayesian inference model.A reputation value updating algorithm was designed by combining the historical interaction information of vehicles and traffic information, malicious vehicles were identified by the reputation threshold.A blockchain was constructed roadside units to realize the distributed storage of traffic data and vehicle reputation values.The traditional proof of work consensus mechanism was improved to dynamically change the difficulty of miner node generating a block through the event level and the number of vehicles involved in scoring, and the waiting mechanism was used to temporarily stop the nodes that had recently blocked from participating in the election process of miner nodes, thus reducing the resource consumption caused by repeated calculations.The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively identify false information, resist the deceptive behavior of malicious vehicles, improve the identification efficiency of malicious vehicles, reduce resource consumption, and is effective and feasible in distributed trust management for Internet of vehicles.…”

Corps sensible, environnement urbain moderniste by Françoise Michel-Jones

“…In it, he confronts his character Hulot with a transitionless shift from the familiar conventions of a historic capital (Paris), which make it possible to stroll peacefully, to the exhausting and deceptive signage and plastic and formal components of a big city that makes for a world in itself, with no space or time outside the frame: a city that asserts the international, modernist version of a city rather than its modern version, being ubiquitous and timeless, devoted to accelerated communication, circulation and consumption.Lost in a disappointing “quest” with multiplying loops and dead-ends, Hulot often appears to be dissolving—shadowless body—at the whim of avatars, doubles and reflections, despite the virtues of transparency and communication, considered to be linked with the “new” architectural and urban environment. …”

Evaluating the role of generative AI and color patterns in the dissemination of war imagery and disinformation on social media by Estibaliz García-Huete, Sara Ignacio-Cerrato, David Pacios, José Luis Vázquez-Poletti, María José Pérez-Serrano, Andrea Donofrio, Clemente Cesarano, Nikolaos Schetakis, Nikolaos Schetakis, Alessio Di Iorio

“…This study explores the evolving role of social media in the spread of misinformation during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, with a focus on how artificial intelligence (AI) contributes to the creation of deceptive war imagery. Specifically, the research examines the relationship between color patterns (LUTs) in war-related visuals and their perceived authenticity, highlighting the economic, political, and social ramifications of such manipulative practices. …”

Physical-social attributes integrated Sybil detection for Tor bridge distribution by Xin SHI, Yunfei GUO, Yawen WANG, Xiaoli SUN, Hao LIANG

“…As one of the most widely utilized censorship circumvention systems, Tor faces serious Sybil attacks in bridge distribution.Censors with rich network and human resources usually deploy a large number of Sybils, which disguise themselves as normal nodes to obtain bridges information and block them.In the process, due to the different identities, purposes and intentions of Sybils and normal nodes, individual or group behavior differences occur in network activities, called as node behavior characteristics.To handle the Sybil attacks threat, a Sybil detection mechanism integrating physical-social attributes was proposed based on the analysis of node behavior characteristics.The physical-social attributes evaluation methods were designed.The credit value of nodes objectively reflecting the operation status of bridges on the nodes and the suspicion index of nodes reflecting the blocking status of bridges, were utilized to evaluate the physical attributes of nodes.The social attributes of nodes were evaluated by the social similarity, which described the static attribute labels of nodes and their social trust characterizing the dynamic interaction behaviors of nodes.Furthermore, integrating the physical-social attributes, the credibility of nodes were defined as the possibility of the current node being a Sybil, which was exploited as a guidance on inferring the true identifies of nodes, so as to achieve accurate detection on Sybils.The detection performance of the proposed mechanism based on the constructed Tor network operation status simulator and the Microblog PCU dataset were simulated.The results show that the proposed mechanism can effectively improve the true positive rate on Sybils, and decrease the false positive rate.It also has stronger resistance on the deceptive behavior of censors, and still performs well in the absence of node social attributes.…”
