All in a day's work by Iantorno Michael, Blamey Courtney, Dwyer Lyne, Consalvo Mia

“…This is done by examining eight paired examples of videogames that feature working-class characters in central roles, including janitor, fire-fighter, taxi driver, and bartender. Our analysis finds that some roles are glorified (such as firefighters), positioning their protagonists in direct conflict with white-collar settings and antagonists. …”

Une « culture de guerre universitaire » ? L’expérience des professeurs de l’enseignement secondaire français mobilisés dans la Grande Guerre by Matthieu Devigne

“…Studying “War culture” thus means making sense of the complex relationships between the experience of fire and the civil culture of soldiers. More precisely, this paper explains how secondary school teachers (a contingent composed of little more than 500 men, among whom Marc Bloch, Jules Isaac, Charles Delvert and other former students of the Ecole Normale Supérieure) have employed their intellectual skills and cultural references to cope with the conflict, both accepting and rejecting some of its principles.…”

Naxi Cosmology of Mt Yulong Sacred Sites with Caveats for Conservation by Jan Salick, Robbie Hart, Li Siyu

“…Challenges for conservation would be to integrate this cosmological view as well as origin myths, Naxi traditions of suicide, and Sanduo, the god of Mt Yulong, who “shines like lightning [and his] mouth spits fire” – not a deity to be engaged without care. Naxi stressed primacy of culture and cosmology. …”

Silvopastoral systems as a strategy for drought resilience: A short international review by Mohammad Reza Ghaffariyan

“…The results indicated that silvopastoral systems could be beneficial to the landowners and farmers which could improve drought resilience by increasing air humidity and reducing weather temperature impact which eventually contributed to mitigation fire risks in farms. From a financial perspective, silvopastoral systems proved to be an attractive financial practice especially when silvicultural treatments were implemented in year zero to increase timber production. …”

Auto forensic detecting algorithms of malicious code fragment based on TensorFlow by Binglong LI, Jinlong TONG, Yu ZHANG, Yifeng SUN, Qingxian WANG, Chaowen CHANG

“…In order to auto detect the underlying malicious code fragments in complex，heterogeneous and massive evidence data about digital forensic investigation, a framework for malicious code fragment detecting algorithm based on TensorFlow was proposed by analyzing TensorFlow model and its characteristics.Back-propagation training algorithm was designed through the training progress of deep learning.The underlying binary feature pre-processing algorithm of malicious code fragment was discussed and proposed to address the problem about different devices and heterogeneous evidence sources from storage media and such as AFF forensic containers.An algorithm which used to generate data set about code fragments was designed and implemented.The experimental results show that the comprehensive evaluation index F₁of the method can reach 0.922, and compared with CloudStrike, Comodo, FireEye antivirus engines, the algorithm has obvious advantage in dealing with the underlying code fragment data from heterogeneous storage media.…”
