AI-based quantum-safe cybersecurity automation and orchestration for edge intelligence in future networks

2023

The AIQUSEC (AI-based quantum secure cyber security automation and orchestration in the edge intelligence of future networks) brings measurable advances to the cyber security of access and edge networks and their services, as well as Operational Service Technologies (OT). The research aims for significant cybersecurity scalability, efficiency, and effectiveness of operations through improved and enhanced device and sensor securities, security assurance, quantum security, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based automation solutions. The new application scenarios of near future, the multiple stakeholders within each scenario, and the higher data volumes raise the need for novel cybersecurity s…

Believe It or Not – No Support for an Effect of Providing Explanatory or Threat-Related Information on Conspiracy Theories’ Credibility

2021

Past research suggests that certain content features of conspiracy theories may foster their credibility. In two experimental studies (N = 293), we examined whether conspiracy theories that explicitly offer a broad explanation for the respective phenomena and/or identify potential threat posed by conspirators are granted more credibility than conspiracy theories lacking such information. Furthermore, we tested whether people with a pronounced predisposition to believe in conspiracies are particularly susceptible to such information. To this end, participants judged the credibility of four conspiracy theories which varied in the provision of explanatory and threat-related information. Intere…

Dwa nowe stanowiska twardziaka pucharowatego Neolentinus cyathiformis w Polsce

2018

Neolentinus cyathiformis (Schaeff.) Della Maggiora & Trassinelli (Gloeophyllaceae, Gloeophyllales, Agaricomycetes) to rzadki grzyb, który na aktualnej Czerwonej liście grzybów wielkoowocnikowych w Polsce posiada kategorię gatunku wymierającego E. Pomimo szerokiego zasięgu (Europa, Azja, Ameryka Południowa) jego stanowiska są nieliczne. W Polsce do tej pory znanych było 20 stanowisk tego gatunku, w tym zaledwie dwa w północnej części kraju. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie dwóch nowych stanowisk: w Ogrodzie Botanicznym Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu (woj. wielkopolskie) oraz w północno-wschodniej części kraju we wsi Rejsztokiemie (woj. podlaskie). Na obu stanowiskach owocni…

Perceived threat and prejudice towards immigrants in Finland : A study among early, middle, and late Finnish adolescents

2017

Using integrated threat theory, this study examined how perceived threat, or fear of immigrants, manifests among early, middle, and late Finnish adolescents, and the relationship between perceived threat and prejudice among early, middle, and late adolescents. The sample consisted of 795 Finnish adolescents between 11 and 19 years of age. Realistic and symbolic threats were the most perceived threats and were more prevalent among late adolescents. There was a positive relationship between prejudice and realistic threat, and between prejudice and symbolic threat, but a negative relationship between prejudice and negative stereotyping, and this relationship remained relatively stable from ear…

Further development of integrated threat theory and intergroup contact: a reply to Aberson (2015)

2016

ABSTRACTThis essay furthers a dialogue about the theoretical and statistical merits of Croucher's [(2013). Integrated threat theory and acceptance of immigrant assimilation: An analysis of Muslim immigration in Western Europe. Communication Monographs, 80, 46–62] study exploring the relationships between threat from an immigrant group, belief that an immigrant wants to assimilate, and intergroup contact. Key points of divergence include assertions that (a) the relationships in the original piece are counter to previous literature/relationships, (b) the correlations presented are implausible, (c) the magnitude of the relationships is too strong, and (d) the manuscript has “odd” multiple regr…

Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs

2015

Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…

Bezpieczeństwo państwa a mniejszości narodowe

National minorities, either today and in the past, certainly can be considered as a potential source of various types of threats to the security of State. States as the organizational form of different nations, not always peacefully co-exist, therefore a situation in which people of different nationalities residing in the territory of one country is inevitably more complex and raises many problems. Needs of State in terms of security, differ from those of groups and individual members of society. Threats may vary in nature and intensity and come from different directions, which depends on a wide variety of factors. This relation is not so simple because the State (and the members of the maj…
