Spatio-temporal aware privacy-preserving scheme in LBS by Weihao LI, Sheng DING, Jiajie MENG, Hui LI

“…Location-based service (LBS) brings a lot of conveniences in people’s daily life,but the conveniences are accompanied with the leaking of privacy.A dummy-based location-preserving scheme was proposed,which took the correlation between spatial issues and temporal issues into account.Two algorithms were included in this scheme,map dividing algorithm and dummy contents determining algorithm.The map dividing algorithm divided the map into discrete location cells by Voronoi Diagram to ensure these discrete location cells were not adjacent to each other.The dummy contents determining algorithm replaced the query content in previous moment by the intending location in next moment,which efficiently avoided the adversary inferring mobile users’ sensitive information according to the correlation between spatial issues and temporal issues.The simulation experiments show that the proposed scheme is effective and efficient.…”

La délicate existence locale de l’adaptation aux changements climatiques : avec, sans, ou à côté de l’atténuation by François Bertrand, Elsa Richard

“…It seeks in particular to better understand how adaptation is built and exists at local levels and to suggest ways for better integration of adaptation with the rest of local action. At last, the paper intends to demonstrate to what extent adaptation must be consider more "with" climate change rather than “to” climate change only, and it underlines the necessity for local public policy to be able to address adaptation “with” as well as “alongside” mitigation, while ensuring to maintain its legitimacy as a response to climate problem -climate change adaptation cannot do completely “without” mitigation.…”

Evanghelia apocrifă a Martei Petreu: identităţi elective – corporalitate afectivă by Daniela Moldoveanu

“…The poetic imagery of Marta Petreu’s overcrowds the world of her verse with death visions and captures and, at the same time, points out to second degree, intellectualized states of mind which are meant not to reveal the pure emotion of the poet, but represent the processing of this emotion into the melting pot-brain of the poem. Her poems intend to be both authentic and concept-based. Desperation, fury, curses, physical and psychological pain, obsession, hysteria, all of these represent the state of mind the reader adopts. …”

Calvyn oor natuurrampe by P. C. Potgieter

“…Contrary to a popular idea that Calvin adopted an extremely harsh line on providence according to which God becomes responsible for every kind of disaster, it is argued that he maintains a fine balance between the loving grace of our heavenly Father and his righteous judgment over mankind who undermined his intended order of nature by sin. Therefore the faithful should respect both God’s revelation in this regard as we find it in Scripture, and his hidden plan which we will not be able to fathom in this life. …”

Sol LeWitt. The Conceptuality of Drawing by Paolo Belardi

“… Two significant faxes can be found in the archive of the ‘Pietro Vannucci’ Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia: they are worthy of note both because they are signed by two well-known personalities (Sol LeWitt and Bruno Corà) and because they markedly represent a genuine manifesto which is theoretically capable of healing the fracture that traditionally separates architecture and art history in matters of drawing intended as a form of thought. In the first fax, dated March 22, 1995, LeWitt (at the time residing for long periods in Spoleto) tells his friend Bruno Corà (then professor of Art History in the Academy) about the delivery of the maquette of a work created specifically for Perugia [1]: an ‘open cube’ (the solid form most loved by LeWitt [2]) which, as an element of the exhibition project City and Art, aimed at injecting viral works into extra moenia urban areas of symbolic interest, was to be exhibited in the portico of the large public building built in those same years by Aldo Rossi and located on the western side of the Piazza Nuova in Fontivegge [3]. …”

The New Bauhaus, intended to ‘match sustainability with style’, is seen as the ‘engine room’ and inspiration for this agenda, which may radically disrupt and transform current approaches to architecture. …”
