Trolling as a Digital Literary Practice in the Russian Language Internet
2020
This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users. Techniques for writing provocative “troll-texts” were created and developed within subcultural groups in the 1990s. Later, from being a subversive practice known only to a few insiders, it became a mass technique described in meta-texts that identified rules for trolling and shared facts about its culture with all interested users. In the 2010s, the now popularised techniques of trolling came to be seen as effective strategies to deploy in online…
Distributed Leader Election and Computation of Local Identifiers for Programmable Matter
2019
International audience; The context of this paper is programmable matter, which consists of a set of computational elements, called particles, in an infinite graph. The considered infinite graphs are the square, triangular and king grids. Each particle occupies one vertex, can communicate with the adjacent particles, has the same clockwise direction and knows the local positions of neighborhood particles. Under these assumptions, we describe a new leader election algorithm affecting a variable to the particles, called the k-local identifier, in such a way that particles at close distance have each a different k-local identifier. For all the presented algorithms, the particles only need a O(…
Security, QoS and self-management within an end-to-end Cloud Computing environment
2015
Today, Cloud Networking is one of the recent research areas within the Cloud Computing research communities. The main challenges of Cloud Networking concern Quality of Service (QoS) and security guarantee as well as its management in conformance with a corresponding Service Level Agreement (SLA). In this thesis, we propose a framework for resource allocation according to an end-to-end SLA established between a Cloud Service User (CSU) and several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) within a Cloud Networking environment (Inter-Cloud Broker and Federation architectures). We focus on NaaS and IaaS Cloud services. Then, we propose the self-establishing of several kinds of SLAs and the self-managemen…
Vidusskolas vecuma jauniešu izpratne par "Youtube" darbības principiem
2020
Sociālie tīkli šodien ir neatņemama ikdienas sastāvdaļa. Tie ir galvenais līdzeklis, lai iegūtu jaunāko informāciju, sazinātos ar draugiem un vienkārši atpūstos. Viena no straujāk augošajām interneta platformām YouTube nodrošina visplašākās izklaides iespējas dažādām vecuma grupām. Tomēr tikai retais šīs platformas lietotājas apzinās un ir informēts par to, kā un kāpēc tiek izmantota viņa personīgā informācija. YouTube algoritmi ir gājuši līdzi laikam un izstrādāti tieši tā, lai pielāgotos katram šīs platformas lietotājam, tomēr daudziem jauniešiem vēl joprojām nav skaidrības par to, kā tieši algoritmi izmanto viņu personīgo informāciju, un kā nepakļauties tā uzspiestajām izvēlēm. Bakalaura…

Viltus ziņas kā daļa no tiesībām uz vārda brīvību
2019
Pieaugot tā saucamo viltus ziņu apjomam virtuālajā vidē, aizvien aktuālāka kļūst nepieciešamība pēc vārda brīvību regulējošiem mehānismiem tiešsaistē. Ņemot vērā pazīmes, kas raksturo viltus ziņas un vienotas izpratnes trūkumu attiecībā uz šo jēdzienu, to izplatības ierobežošana ir problemātiska. Bakalaura darba ietvaros tiks skaidrots, kas ir tiesības uz vārda brīvību, kādi ir vārda brīvības galvenie mērķi, robežas, un atbildība par šo tiesību pārkāpšanu. Tiks salīdzinātas dažādu autoru piedāvātās jēdziena „viltus ziņas” definīcijas, pētīta starptautisko institūciju un atsevišķu valstu rīcība attiecībā uz viltus ziņu izplatības ierobežošanu. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai tiesīb…
Pain experience and social support of endometriosis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany – results of a web-based cross-sectional survey
2021
Background Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition in premenopausal women. Pain is mainly characterized by pain intensity and may induce disability in all areas of daily life. Nevertheless, pain is influenced by emotional and social factors as well. Social distancing measures or quarantine, as reaction to rapidly rising infections with the COVID-19 virus due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, were implemented across Europe to prevent the spread of the virus and social distancing measures were imposed by the German government by beginning of March 2020 with initiation of the lockdown by the end of March 2020. The objective of this study was to assess, how social distancing measures during the lo…

Discovering Homophily in Online Social Networks
2018
During the last ten years, Online Social Networks (OSNs) have increased their popularity by becoming part of the real life of users. Despite their tremendous widespread, OSNs have introduced several privacy issues as a consequence of the nature of the information involved in these services. Indeed, the huge amount of private information produced by users of current OSNs expose the users to a number of risks. The analysis of the users’ similarity in OSNs is attracting the attention of researchers because of its implications on privacy and social marketing. In particular, the homophily between users could be used to reveal important characteristics that users would like to keep hidden, hence …
Influence of Silence and Noise Filtering on Speech Quality Monitoring
2021
With the exponential increase of mobile users and internet subscribers, the utilization of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) application is increasing dramatically. People exploit different VoIP applications for effective communication, for example, Google Meet, Microsoft Skype, Zoom video conferencing applications, etc. The single-ended speech quality metrics are employed for measuring and monitoring the quality of speech. However, different types of degradations present in the surroundings distort the quality of speech. In order to meet the desired quality of experience (QoE) level of end-user while using VoIP applications, it is necessary to reduce VoIP degradations and obtain the opti…
