Orkut e Facebook: as teias da memória em meio às redes sociais by Marcia Elisa Rendeiro

“…In the dynamics composed by the social networks, with sites that allow you to find and "increase the amount" of friends by specific features, create discussion groups and transit among albums and communities; we foresee the existence of a circuit that oppose word and image, a text with specific narrative features, a kind of a virtual device that stimulates the generation of memories and representation - links of a same chain that serves to punctuate the writing of the social memory and the formation of new identities.…”

Lightweight detection system of shared spam attacks by Shao-qing LV, Dan FAN, Yu-qing ZHANG

“…Spam is one of the most serious attacks against online social networks (OSN).Recently a new type of spam attack occurs,which named shared spam attack.The shared spam attack can separate the storage and dissemination of spam content,making the existing detection systems no longer effective.To address this problem,an empirical analysis of the process and properties of this new spam attack is performed.A novel lightweight iterative detection algorithm (LIDA) is proposed to detect spam accounts in OSN with these properties.LIDA contains two steps:target filter and content detection.It also noteworthy that LIDA is a lightweight algorithm to infer more spam accounts by exploiting spam accounts’ sharing instead of scanning or analyzing all accounts.Experimental results in RenRen,which has successfully detected 9 568 spam accounts,30 732 spam albums and 2 626 780 spam URL in four round iterations,indicate that LIDA is effective and efficiency in detecting shared spam accounts.…”

Les Méta-Barons, des cyborgs subversifs ? by Adrien Cascarino

“…To answer this question, this article focuses on the representation of transhuman bodies in La Caste des Méta-Barons, an 8-volume comic strip series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky, drawn by Juan Gimenez and published between 1992 and 2003.The study of this comic strip, contemporary with the beginnings of the transhumanist movement, but above all with the emergence of an ambivalent figure of the cyborg (Haraway, 1984), highlights a certain representation of the posthuman body, which pre-dates current developments on the question.Through the study of the narrative and graphic structure of these albums, this article shows that contrary to appearances, the transhuman bodies of the meta-barons, both cyborg and hybrid, are moving away from the ideal of a divine and all-powerful body and on the contrary blur the line between the augmented body and the disabled body, showing that any physical modification is accompanied by a loss, access to a truly augmented body then passing through the acceptance of this loss.…”

Despite some variation, most singers realize a majority of their /t/ as a flap in sung productions, something that is not seen in their spoken productions. …”
