The following article appeared in Journal of Chemical Physics 2015, 142 and may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4913634 We present an updated semi-experimental absolute shielding scale for the 17O and 33S nuclei. These new shielding scales are based on accurate rotational microwave data for the spin–rotation constants of H2 17O [Puzzarini et al., J. Chem. Phys. 131, 234304 (2009)], C17O [Cazzoli et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 4, 3575 (2002)], and H2 33S [Helgaker et al., J. Chem. Phys. 139, 244308 (2013)] corrected both for v…
Available Defences for Defendants in the Provisional Measures in Europe: Between Theory and Practice
2014
The EU Enforcement Directive provides a set of provisional measures to be applied by a request of a right-holder of a particular object of intellectual property. Simultaneously, the EU Enforcement Directive envisages a set of defences for an alleged infringer in order to safeguard the balance of parties. This article discusses available defences for an alleged infringer in provisional measures as provided by the EU Member States when norms of the EU Enforcement Directive are transposed in conjuncture with the available court practice. Specifically, the present article focuses not only on the threshold of evidence to be presented by a plaintiff for application of provisional measures but als…
Available Defences in Provisional measures: Between the Enforcement Directive and National law
2015
AbstractThe EU Enforcement Directive provides a set of provisional measures to be applied upon request from a right-holder of a particular object of intellectual property. Simultaneously, the EU Enforcement Directive envisages a set of defences for an alleged infringer (defendant) in order to safeguard the balance of the parties. This article discusses available defences for an alleged infringer in the provisional measures as provided by the EU Member States when the norms of the EU Enforcement Directive are transposed. Specifically, the present article not only focuses on the threshold of evidence to be presented by a plaintiff for the application of provisional measures, but also in regar…
The Norm of Neutrality in Collaborative Knowledge Construction
2017
Social media enabled collaboration at unprecedented levels. And while research points to the benefits of mass collaboration, it has also revealed challenges and problems. Here we explore biases in collaboratively constructed knowledge. To this end, we compared two online encyclopedias: Wikipedia and the extreme right-wing Metapedia. Both urge users to present topics from a neutral point of view. Using different measures we found that Metapedia articles (vs. Wikipedia articles) are significantly shorter, contain fewer references, contain relatively more anger- and anxiety-related words, rarely present more than one point of view in controversies, and often convey opinions – for inctance, by …
S249. IS INTERNET HARMFUL FOR PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS?
2018
Abstract Background Developments in electronic health (e-Health) interventions for psychotic patients have been possible since the growing access and use of internet and electronic devices in past 10 years (Bonet et al. 2017). However, before proceeding further on develop these interventions; limited knowledge exists about the impact of internet and new technologies on the mental health of these psychotic patients. The aim of this study is to assess the benefits and risks of new technologies usage in a survey of patients diagnosed with psychotic disorders. We analyzed the relationship between experiences and opinions about internet and demographic and clinical characteristics of the sample …
Technology management, networking positions and work/life boundaries among working adult students
2021
In this digitalised world, crossing boundaries between life domains is becoming increasingly easy. We are constantly faced with the need to define whether we are online or offline, and technology management is now an integral part of daily life. Technology management, which is affected by the individual's networking position, has different components: connectivity management, online self-presentation and privacy management. The objective of this study is to explore technology management strategies among working adult students. The study identifies three networking positions: socio-affective enthusiasts, context-contingent pragmatists and pragmatic avoiders. These three groups have specific …
A novel scheme for privacy preserving in RBAC
2013
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Model has been proved to be quite useful and has drawn a lot of research interest over the last fifteen years. In this paper we discuss general context-aware RBAC model. We analyze potential privacy threats associated with use of context-aware RBAC and propose a novel scheme that provides privacy-preserving for access models based on RBAC.
The Politics of Privacy - a Useful Tautology
2020
While communication and media studies tend to define privacy with reference to data security, current processes of datafication and commodification substantially transform ways of how people act in increasingly dense communicative networks. This begs for advancing research on the flow of individual and organizational information considering its relational, contextual and, in consequence, political dimensions. Privacy, understood as the control over the flow of individual or group information in relation to communicative actions of others, frames the articles assembled in this thematic issue. These contributions focus on theoretical challenges of contemporary communication and media privacy …

Abstract Peer review is not only a quality screening mechanism for scholarly journals. It also connects authors and referees either directly or indirectly. This means that their positions in the network structure of the community could influence the process, while peer review could in turn influence subsequent networking and collaboration. This paper aims to map these complex network implications by looking at 2232 author/referee couples in an interdisciplinary journal that uses double blind peer review. By reconstructing temporal co-authorship networks, we found that referees tended to recommend more positively submissions by authors who were within three steps in their collaboration netwo…
