Dynamic privacy measurement model and evaluation system for mobile edge crowdsensing by Mingfeng ZHAO, Chen LEI, Yang ZHONG, Jinbo XIONG

“…To tackle the problems of users not having intuitive cognition of the dynamic privacy changes contained in their sensing data in mobile edge crowdsensing (MECS) and lack of personalized privacy risk warning values in the data uploading stage, a dynamic privacy measurement (DPM) model was proposed.A structured representation of data obtained by a user participating in a sensing task was introduced and was transformed it into a numerical matrix.Then privacy attribute preference and timeliness were presented to quantify the dynamic privacy changes of data.With this, personalized privacy thresholds of users based on the numerical matrix were reasonably calculated.Finally, differential privacy processing was performed on the numerical matrix, and a model evaluation system was designed for the proposed model.The simulation results show that the DPM model was effective and practical.According to the given example, a data utility of approximately 0.7 can be achieved, and the degree of privacy protection can be significantly improved as the noise level increases, adapting to the MECS of IoT.…”

Mesurer le niveau de stress d’enfants à leur domicile (Marseille) : Mise au point méthodologique by Valérie Niel-Bernard, Hélène Pagezy, Pierre Darlu

“…However, while pediatricians tend to use body surface (calculated from Gehan and George’s formulas), seldom applying the exact formula related to age, anthropobiogists mostly prefer to use BMI. A suitable standardization of the results is needed, particularly when the objective is to measure children’s stress under “normal” conditions, that is at their family home.…”

Choosing people: the role of social capital in information seeking behaviour by Catherine A. Johnson

An explanation for the use of people as information sources is that they are easier to approach than more formal sources and therefore are a "least effort" option. …”

Anti-corruption Law and Systemic Corruption: The Role of Direct Responses by Kevin E. Davis

“…This article argues that there are sound reasons to believe that anti-corruption law can play an affirmative role in controlling systemic corruption, but the advantages and disadvantages of alternative legal responses are likely to vary depending on both the preferred evaluative criteria and the context. This analysis is based on the premise that corruption becomes systemic when it is widespread, persistent, subversive, structural, or normalized. …”
