PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES OF RESCUING THE SHRINKING LAKE CHAD THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS’ GREEN CLIMATE FUND by DAIYABU HASSAN MUHAMMAD

“…Although there is a new initiative by the Italian government and the Chinese construction company PowerChina in partnership with Bonfica to resurrect the idea, the paper argues that the LCBC has failed to access and utilize the adaptation facilities under the United Nations adaptation funds. Drawing from the argument of the justice for international adaptation framework, the paper assesses the vulnerabilities and opportunities of the Lake Chad countries and conclude that, to bring the IBWT to fruition, the LCBC and the riparian states of the Lake Chad must explore and access all available sources of fund, especially the Green Climate Fund. …”

Novel distinguisher for SM4 cipher algorithm based on deep learning by Huijiao WANG, Xin ZHANG, Yongzhuang WEI, Lingchen LI

“…A method was proposed to construct a deep learning distinguisher model for large state block ciphers with large-block and long-key in view of the problem of high data complexity, time complexity and storage complexity of large state block cipher distinguishers, and the neural distinguishers were constructed for SM4 algorithm.Drawing inspiration from the idea that ciphertext difference could improve the performance of distinguishers, a new input data format for neural distinguisher was designed by using partial difference information between ciphertext pairs as part of the training data.The residual neural network model was used to construct the neural distinguisher.The training dataset for large blocks was preprocessed.Additionally, an improved strategy for model relearning was proposed to address the high specificity and low sensitivity of the constructed distinguisher.Experimental results show that the proposed deep learning model for SM4 can achieve 9 rounds neural distinguisher.The accuracy of 4～9 rounds distinguishers can reach up to 100%, 76.14%, 65.20%, 59.28%, 55.89% and 53.73% respectively.The complexity and accuracy of the constructed differential neural distinguisher are significantly better than those of traditional differential distinguishers, and it is currently the best neural distinguisher for the block cipher SM4 to our knowledge.It also proves that the deep learning method is effective and feasible in the security analysis of block cipher of large block.…”

The Sacred and the Sensual by Swetha Vijayakumar

“…This paper discusses the process of eroticization occurring at Khajuraho – a process that is a unique amalgamation of religion, culture, and tourism. Drawing from Indian government’s advertisement strategies, marketing of erotic souvenirs, tourist surveys, and statistical data obtained from the ministry of Indian tourism, I identify three distinct ways in which eroticization occurs at Khajuraho: first, through a uniquely romanticized marketing by Indian tour operators who offer enticing honeymoon and holiday packages; second, through the abundance of erotic souvenirs sold on the streets as a symbol of Khajuraho; and third, through the creation of an “experience economy” supported by local prostitution. …”

Language Ideologies in Irish Secondary Schools: A raciolinguistic approach by Stephen Lucek

“…The current paper takes a look at sociolinguistic diversity in Dublin secondary schools, how secondary school principals deal with social class differences in speech and how principals’ ideologies contribute to, and are shaped by, these experiences. Drawing from professional practice interviews with six principals, I will categorise the principals’ attitudes to linguistic diversity through the everyday sociolinguistic practice in their schools using a language ideology perspective. …”

Literary seduction: Minds, bodies and non-textual phenomena by Michael BURKE

“…Evidently, there must be an inner, axial (textual) layer and a much less attended to outer, auxiliary (non-textual) layer of seduction at work during engaged acts of literary reading, both of which must arguably be optimal if a reader is to be successfully seduced into reading - and into continuing to read. In this paper, drawing primarily on my own theory of affective inputs during literary reading and the literary reading loop within the framework of the oceanic literary reading mind (Burke 2011), I will discuss a number of such outer-layer, auxiliary, non-textual phenomena, namely, (i) mood, (ii) medium, and (iii) location. …”

A Myth of Kinship? Reinterpreting Lakota Conceptualization of Kin Relationships vis-à-vis 19th and 20th Century Historical Narratives by Kellie Hogue

“…Reinterpreting Lakota Conceptualization of Kin Relationships vis-à-vis 19th and 20th Century Historical Narratives. Drawing upon the theoretical perspectives of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Raymond DeMallie, and Emmanuel Désveaux, this paper combines a structuralist approach with symbolic anthropology in an attempt to reinterpret historical categorization of Lakota kinship through an examination of the relationship between the Lakota and a pervasive representative of the non-material world in Lakota life, the bird. …”

Why is it problematic for technicians to say they teach in higher education? by Tim Savage, Kelly Vere

“…Writing from their experiences as technicians and educational researchers within the creative arts (Savage) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) (Vere), the authors question why many technicians feel unable to describe their teaching activities as teaching, calling for greater recognition of technicians’ pedagogic contribution to the sector, while also arguing that through the activities of teaching, the boundaries between academic and technical roles have become increasingly blurred.   Drawing on Whitchurch’s concept of a ‘Third Space’, the article highlights how political, economic, social and technological factors have transformed HE since the turn of the millennium to establish the conditions in which technical roles and teaching have become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. …”

Land Tenure Security and Sustainable Land Investment: Evidence from National Plot-Level Data in Rural China by Xiaolong Sun, Jinmin Wang, Fangping Rao

“…The linkage between land tenure security and land quality improvement investment is crucial given that the land tenure security system is a widely applied policy tool for the protection of cultivation land in developing countries. Drawing on the triple land tenure security framework, this paper examines the impact of the de jure and the de facto land tenure security on farming households’ decisions about using organic fertilizer on their plots in China, based on a national survey dataset covering 2308 plots matched with 962 farming households across 8 provinces in China (Shangdong, Shangxi, Jilin, Zhejiang, Henan, Gansu, Hunan, and Sichuan) from January to July 2013. …”
