The aim of this paper is to analyze in depth the underlying linguistic structure and strategies identified in the last two ciphers used by Margaret of Parma, governor of the Netherlands, in her private Italian letters to Philip II during 1566, a decisive year of social, religious and economic conflicts in the territories of Flanders. The study presents and compares the main features of the general cipher and the private cipher contemporarily used by Margaret of Parma in the private Italian letters she sent to Philip II during that year: two cryptographic systems comprising complex combinations of alphabetic characters, numerical digits and steganographic symbols to ensure the confidentiality of their communications in a hostile European context. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar en profundidad la estructura y las estrategias lingüísticas subyacentes identificadas en los dos últimos cifrarios utilizados por Margarita de Parma, gobernadora de los Países Bajos, en sus cartas privadas en italiano a Felipe II durante 1566, un año marcado por los conflictos sociales, religiosos y económicos en los territorios de Flandes. El estudio presenta y compara las principales características de la cifra general y la cifra particular que utilizó contemporáneamente Margarita de Parma en la correspondencia privada italiana que envió a Felipe II durante ese año: dos sistemas criptográficos compuestos por complejas combinaciones de caracteres alfabéticos, numéricos y esteganográficos que garantizaran la confidencialidad de sus comunicaciones en un contexto europeo hostil.

The importance of education in contemporary world order cannot be gainsaid. Education is the first step towards human empowerment and plays vital role in the development of human capital that is imperative in the modern technological and knowledge economy. This study set out to investigate the nature of social and economic conflicts affecting students’ participation in secondary school education in Kakamega County. It used a conceptual model where social and economic conflicts as represented by poverty and drug and substance abuse on one side and effects on students’ participation in secondary school education on the other. The measurable indicators for participation were enrolment, retention, progression and completion of secondary school education. The research design adopted for this study was ex post facto in which cross cultural survey and correlational design were used. The study population was 20274 students in county and sub county schools in the three sampled sub counties of Kakamega North, Mumias East and Kakamega East; 63 principals, 63 guiding and counselling teachers, parents and guardians, religious leaders, chiefs, NG-CDF managers and Sub County Directors of education. Purposive sampling was used to select the three sub counties, stratified random sampling was used to select the schools while purposive, simple random and stratified random sampling were used to identify all other respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews schedules and FGD.

Behind the Chain of Poverty: Social and Economic Conflicts that Oppress Fishing Communities
  • Nov 29, 2025
  • Journal of Sumatera Sociological Indicators
  • Ovy Novakarti + 1 more

Fishing communities in Indonesia are often the most vulnerable social group to poverty and marginalization. Although the marine sector has great potential for the economy, small and traditional fishermen are often trapped in a cycle of poverty that is difficult to break. This article examines the poverty trap experienced by fishing communities through the perspective of social conflict theory. Using a qualitative approach that includes data collection through a literature review, this study analyzes how the unequal distribution of resources and power in the fisheries sector leads to exploitation and worsens the socio-economic conditions of fishers. Factors such as dependence on middlemen, market price instability, unfavorable fisheries policies, and marine ecosystem degradation due to overfishing and climate change further strengthen the poverty chain. In addition, internal conflicts within fishing communities also play a role in exacerbating poverty conditions. This article seeks to uncover the dynamics of social and economic conflicts that plague fishing communities, and offers solutions based on community empowerment and fairer policy reforms

This session focuses on strategies for how to handle difficult conversations, such as those around race, gender, or immigration in the classroom. After each panelist briefly shares their strategies and tips, the audience is invited to participate in the roundtable discussion by asking questions and sharing their experiences and strategies. Participants will be able to list and describe several concrete strategies they can use in class right away. _____________________________________________________________ FULL ABSTRACT: The United States is experienced an era of intense political, social, and economic conflict and internationally, challenging conversations around race, gender, religion/culture, etc. are at the forefront: see the global reach of the #MeToo and now #BlackLivesMatter movements and contention around refugees that has spread from refugee-sending countries to refugee-receiving countries including the US, Australia, and Malta. In this roundtable discussion we will discuss how to handle difficult conversations, such as those around race, gender, or immigration in the classroom. Dr. Mara Schoeny, Director of the Undergraduate Program at the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (SCAR) will discuss difficult subjects that invoke personal, political, and social identities present challenges in the classroom for discussions and assignments that develop critical thinking and reflection. Such discussions can also challenge our own identities as instructors. When do we get stuck? What do we do when we feel unprepared or off-balance in a discussion? How can we cultivate self-awareness, mindfulness and increased capacity for leading difficult conversations in the classroom? Lisa Shaw, Director of Student Services and Field Experience at SCAR will discuss her work using field-based experiences and international study opportunity to connect issues raised in the classroom to those in the larger community. Sarah Rose-Jensen, PhD Candidate and Graduate Lecturer will discuss using experiential and project-based learning as ways to engage students with subjects which may be challenging or threatening. After a short presentation by each panelist, we invite the audience to participate with us in this roundtable discussion and share your experiences and strategies as well. Educators will hear about practices that work and challenges other have experienced when working with students on challenging issues like race and gender, and how we can work to create classroom space for these discussions.

Divide and conquer technique in online handwritten Kannada character recognition
  • Jul 25, 2009
  • M Mahadeva Prasad + 2 more

The peculiar nature in which one or more consonants combine with vowels to produce a compound character in Kannada language results in a huge number of character combinations, running to tens of thousands or more. The aim of the work is therefore, to reduce the number of character combinations by employing a divide and conquer technique. In the first level of the technique, the structural and the dynamic features of online handwritten Kannada characters are exploited to segment the compound Kannada characters into 282 distinct symbols. This reduction in the number of classes overcomes the huge data collection problem and also reduces the computational complexity. In the second level, these 282 symbols are further divided into three distinct sets of stroke groups, thus further reducing the search space for the recognition engine. One or more of these stroke groups can combine to form any of the thousands of Kannada compound characters. Since the focus of this paper is the above strategy, a simple classifier has been used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in handling the difficult task of recognizing all possible character combinations of Kannada. The features extracted from the segmented stroke groups are mapped to lower dimensional space using PCA. The subspace features of distinct stroke groups are fed to the respective classifiers in an order and the output of these classifiers are combined to output the Unicode of the recognized akshara. The proposed work is an attempt made for the first time in Kannada language which considers all possible combinations of symbols, including Kannada numerals.

Impact of Anxiety on Eye Markers: Role of Visual Task Complexity
  • Jan 1, 2024
  • Saurabh Sharma + 2 more

Anxiety and visual task difficulty may interact, impose cognitive demands, and affect task performance. Researchers have found that when comparing task performance across people with different levels of anxiety vulnerability, people with somewhat elevated anxiety vulnerability perform worse than people with lower anxiety susceptibility. Furthermore, vulnerability to anxiety is associated with a decreased ability to control the allocation of attention that is reflected while performing tasks. We aim to see the role of visual task complexity as potential mediators in the relation between different levels of anxiety and eye movements and to see whether increasing task complexity has an effect on visualization behaviour. We use eye-movement analysis to observe and analyze how people view and subsequently process visual information. After the screening, the study recruited 31 students (F= 11; M=20) aged between 21 to 35 years (M=28.02, SD=0.62). Exclusion criteria included individuals with visual impairments, with substance disorders and history of neurological disorders. All participants provided consent before participation. STAI-Y2 was used to categorize participants into low, moderate, and high (N=9, N=10, and N= 12). Visual task involved arithmetic problems and determining the accuracy of the answer displayed (true or false). Each level was divided into two subsets, each containing six equations with a combination of numbers, alphabet characters, and spatial symbols (>, <). To heighten task complexity, one subset required participants to respond synchronously using their right index finger for true and left index finger for false, while the other subset required asynchronous responses (left index finger for true, right index finger for false). Relevant information to solve the problems consisted of numbers and spatial symbols, while alphabet characters were considered irrelevant or noise. The First Fixation Duration (FFD), Time to First Fixation (TTFF), Total Visit Duration (TVD), Total Fixation Duration (TFD) were computed after ascertaining the Area of Interests (AOIs). The findings suggest that individuals with high trait anxiety tend to explore or scan irrelevant information more compared to low and moderate trait anxiety levels while performing the task, particularly during more complex visual tasks. Individuals in the low and moderate anxiety groups showed better ability to fixate on relevant information during the same tasks. The study's findings suggest that eye metrics, such as fixation duration and visit duration on relevant and irrelevant information, could serve as objective markers indicating anxiety related attentional differences during task performance. The results are in line with previous research supporting the correlation between anxiety and eye metrics. Our study corroborates with existing literature, which posits that highly anxious individuals may experience impaired attentional control during task performance. The study provides valuable insights into the impact of anxiety on attention and information processing during visual tasks of varying complexity.

A Marketplace of Networks: Power and Counter-Power in the Domain Name System
  • Jul 17, 2016
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Kenneth Merrill

This paper draws on early findings from a multiple-case study analysis to consider the ways in which country code top-level domain names (ccTLDs) are embedded with specific political, economic and cultural values and the extent to which these techno-social objects go on to mediate geopolitical and economic conflicts, including political censorship, intellectual property rights enforcement and cybercrime. It suggests that a focus on power and the sociopolitical and cultural relations that both shape and are shaped by these technological objects is crucial to understanding the role of ccTLDs in the networked public sphere. To this end, the following overarching research questions inform the overall direction of this project: (1) to what extent, if any, do ccTLDs mediate geopolitical, social, and economic conflict, and in what ways? And (2) to what extent, if any, are ccTLDs mediated by geopolitical, social, and economic conflicts, and in what ways? To answer these questions the project draws on a multiple-case study design focusing on three cases, which I suggest are emblematic of the extent to which ccTLDs serve as boundary objects, mediating power and counter-power in the networked information economy. Before delving into the cases, the project begins with a historical analysis of the origins of ccTLDs and their role in early debates over Internet governance. Drawing on publicly available texts and archival materials from relevant stakeholders, this analysis seeks to provide much-needed historical context to contemporary debates over ccTLD policy and Internet governance more broadly. This is followed by early findings from a case study of Switzerland’s “ch” ccTLD and its role as the “domain of last resort” for Wikileaks. Filling a gap in the literature on the role of ccTLDs in global Internet governance debates past and present, this study suggests that notions of territorial sovereignty and local authority, often associated with ccTLDs, belie a much more complicated reality in which geographically agnostic relations are constructed along political, economic and cultural lines. To this end, the paper concludes by situating ccTLDs in the larger context of Internet governance and the politics of Internet architecture.

  • ALBACORE Jurnal Penelitian Perikanan Laut
  • Mustaruddin + 5 more

This study aimed to analyze the performance of environmental, economic, and social conflicts in the utilization of maritime potential, and implement the ICOFISH-MT (integration of coastal fisheries management and marine tourism) model in resolving these conflicts. The method consisted of a descriptive method and the ICOFISH-MT model approach. There were 8 (eight) conflicts in the utilization of maritime potential in the Labuhan Haji Fishing Port Area, divided into 4 environmental conflicts, 3 economic conflicts, and 1 social conflict. The status of 2 conflicts had a limited scale resolution status and 6 conflicts have not been resolved. The implementation of the ICOFISH-MT model in conflict resolution showed that the dominant conflict resolution techniques were negotiation and mediation (75%). The conflict management institution formed had a five-person management consisting of : chairman (1 person), vice chairman (1 person), secretary (1 person), and activities section (2 people). The cooperation scheme to utilize opportunities for integration/synergies of activities from the conflicting parties consisted of 4 profit-based cooperation, 3 non-profit cooperation, and 1 profit and non-profit cooperation. The results of conflict resolution using the ICOFISH-MT model are believed to be able to guarantee the sustainability of maritime potential utilization, increase employment opportunities for fishermen, tourism workers, and the community, and strengthen the role of fishing ports. Key words: conflict resolution, environment, fishing port, fisheries, maritime

Tell Me More: Automating Emojis Classification for Better Accessibility and Emotional Context Recognition
  • May 5, 2022
  • Future Internet
  • Muhammad Atif + 1 more

Users of web or chat social networks typically use emojis (e.g., smilies, memes, hearts) to convey in their textual interactions the emotions underlying the context of the communication, aiming for better interpretability, especially for short polysemous phrases. Semantic-based context recognition tools, employed in any chat or social network, can directly comprehend text-based emoticons (i.e., emojis created from a combination of symbols and characters) and translate them into audio information (e.g., text-to-speech readers for individuals with vision impairment). On the other hand, for a comprehensive understanding of the semantic context, image-based emojis require image-recognition algorithms. This study aims to explore and compare different classification methods for pictograms, applied to emojis collected from Internet sources. Each emoji is labeled according to the basic Ekman model of six emotional states. The first step involves extraction of emoji features through convolutional neural networks, which are then used to train conventional supervised machine learning classifiers for purposes of comparison. The second experimental step broadens the comparison to deep learning networks. The results reveal that both the conventional and deep learning classification approaches accomplish the goal effectively, with deep transfer learning exhibiting a highly satisfactory performance, as expected.

Shady Practice: Gender and the Political Ecology of Resource Stabilization in Gambian Garden/Orchards
  • Oct 1, 1993
  • Economic Geography
  • Richard A Schroeder

An increasing ecological awareness and greater efforts on a global scale to reverse processes of environmental degradation give rise to new forms of social and economic conflict—a “politics of resource stabilization”—which political ecology theorists have yet to fully explore. Blaikie and Brookfield (1987) argue that the long-term payback period of capital-intensive and natural reclamation processes may potentially lead resource “managers” to adopt coercive labor mobilization tactics or seek out opportunities to capture inequitable subsidies in achieving stabilization goals. Both of these tendencies express themselves quite clearly in a lucrative horticultural production district on the North Bank of the River Gambia in West Africa.Two decades of drought, since the early 1970s, have prompted hundreds of women's groups in The Gambia to intensify fruit and vegetable production in low-lying communal garden projects. In an attempt at promoting environmental stabilization through tree planting, develop...

Il conflitto che definisce lo stile: esempi nella storiografia artistica da Vasari a Longhi
  • Jul 15, 2017
  • Carmela Vargas

In the History of Art Criticism, conflict has always been a conceptual tool for investigating artistic phenomena. Vasari, in many of his biographies, used it used to explain differences between artists, contrasting one with another. Bellori construes a scale of evaluative norms by setting differing artistic styles in opposition in order to bring out what he considers quintessential. Winckelmann uses it in discussing the differences between Ancient and Modern artists. These are open conflicts that find their resolution in certain paradigmatic artists capable of settling the contrast, such as Michelanelo for Vasari, Poussin and the classicists for Bellori, and for Winckelmann certain artists able to reconcile ideal models with nature. The hermeneutic category of conflict operates in 20th-century criticism as well. Longhi applies it in interpreting the work of Masolino and Masaccio and of Piero della Francesca and Van Eyck. Panofsky makes use of it in his well-known concept of Renaissance as opposed to renascences. Hauser and Antal see social and economic conflicts as a key to understanding long periods of history of art. In the second half of the 20th century, we note that Wickhoff, Riegl, and Wolfllin have used only conflict in dealing with the succession of periods in art history, replacing the concept of artistic decline with another idea: a kind of permanent, not generally acrimonious conflict, between ages, acting throughout art history as a normal aspect of its progression.

Peasants’ Interests in Political Participation and the Relationship Between Authority and Participation
  • Dec 1, 2015
  • Jiangshan Fang

An analysis of the non-institutional participation of peasants shows that political participation of the general public could provide an important approach to better resolving the social, economic, and political conflicts arising from the modernization process. During the transformation period, encouraging the orderly participation in political affairs does contribute to the settlement of conflicts and problems. However, this may sometimes lead to an opposite extreme. In fact, public political participation plays a limited role in resolving the conflicts. There are many approaches and tools for resolving social, economic, and political conflicts, as many factors affect these conflicts. An analysis of the two forms of non-institutional participation—induced participation and mandatory participation—indicates that a high level of unity exists between the two well-known statements made, respectively, by the first generation and the third generation of the CPC leadership, the former being “The fundamental issue is to educate rural citizens,” and the latter being “The major issue is to educate government cadres.”

  • Dawei Lin

Due to the rapid development of global capitalism and information technology, human resource plunder will become more competitive and intensified. Bring human multiple and invisible social pressure, including: life stress, work pressure, academic pressure and economic pressure. Moderate pressure can promote personal and social progress; exceeding pressure will cause personal mental illness and social conflicts. Learn how to moderate leisure and relieve the pressure therefore becomes compulsory modern philosophy of life. The Healing Economics has become a new market model, in which digital games has become an important entertainment and relieve stress shortcut for modern people. However, related researches and design methods for healing video games still needs to be established. In order to discover the factors of healing video game, the KJ method will be applied for video games classification in advance. Then the Kinesiological Testing will be adopted for the visual elements, interactive elements and the overall interactive elements of selected sample video games. Finally, Electroencephalography measure brainwave reaction subjects to determine whether the factors of the game have healing effects. The both results of Kinesiological Testing and Electroencephalography will be compared for differences and feasibility. Through this study, I look forward to the Kinesiological Testing can successfully be applied to the field of game design, and can be extended to the relevant research areas. In addition, this study can establish the design criteria for healing video game and provide a practical reference for game industry.
