The FM and PL Libraries Documentation
No full textBuilding complex SPMD code in an ecient and portable way is nowadays a challenge, especially when there is no uniformity of tools and libraries across platforms. The Fast Messages (FM) and the Portability Library (PL) where both designed to provide the basis of an abstract enough framework for C, so that problems can be coded and ported to any supported platform with no more than a few changes in the makeles and a recompilation. The FM library provides a message passing communications library built around the Berkeley Active Messages library. The PL library provides the primitives for host to node communication for problem initialization and results collection, as well as other miscellaneous and potentially non-portable primitives. This technical report contains the documentation for both libraries.Technical report LCSR-TR-25

Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems
No full textLuís Bettencourt provides a timely, comprehensive, and rigorous treatment of urban space, by contributing to the
advancement of knowledge in the field of urban science. The author develops a valuable scientific guide for researchers,
policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in understanding cities as complex systems. Today, more than half of
world's population lives in urban areas, and, according to theWorld Bank data, by 2045, urban citizens will increase up to
6 billion. Cities of different sizes will play a pivotal role in the postpandemic recovery and, most importantly, they will
make the green transition of our economies and societies really work in coming years. Therefore, understanding “how
each city and every one of its people is the result of the aggregation of many choices, accidents, and influences from
their compounded joint history” (p. xxi) becomes crucial to manage present and future local and global challenges
Disrupting MMORPGs gaming: Exploring and renegotiating end-user license agreements in the Metaverse
No full textThis paper explores key legal issues surrounding gaming platforms that provide/host Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games. Since we are entering the next epoch of the Internet, Web3.0 – and the emergence of Metaverses that operate within this space, this paper conducts an inquiry into the key facets of end-user license agreements (EULAs) used in the platforms that may likely need to be renegotiated. Firstly, how do we reconcile the legal regulatory status of gaming platforms in a decentralized Web3.0 Metaverse? Secondly, how can the rights of end users of gaming platforms be protected vis-à-vis the EULAs in this space? And thirdly, what specific aspects in existing EULAs are likely needed to be renegotiated in light of a decentralized Web3.0 Metaverse? This paper will utilize a case study using the EULAs of Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and provide a possible reformulation of specific terms and conditions of EULAs.The author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article
Addressing Cognitive Vulnerabilities Through Genome and Epigenome Editing: Techno-Legal Adaptations for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
No full textSpecial Issue: Gene Editing, Health Innovation, Regulation.Copyright © 2022 The Author. The key aim of this paper is to highlight the oft-under-represented narrative of how persons with disabilities (specifically, those with intellectual disabilities) may access the benefits that genome editing may offer. Firstly, this paper reflects on the critical need for a paradigm shift in how we view intellectual disabilities, and centering the rights of persons with disabilities to allow them to access the broad scope of their right to health under various international law instruments (including the complementary right to habilitation under Article 26 of the CRPD). Secondly, the paper evaluates the legal provisions in the CRPD and other international instruments relating to the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities, and their access to genome editing technologies. This analysis intends to demonstrate that human rights in disability discourse be complemented with emancipatory, participatory, and transformative research. Finally, the paper argues for a reinvigorated line of thinking that expands on the social model of disability: to align with inclusive, contemporary disability discourse that embodies greater responsibility and innovation in perpetuating better access to genome editing technologies for persons with intellectual disabilities
Gerrymandering and Judicial Review in Malaysia
No full textVerfassungsblog: On Matters Constitutional is hosted by Deutschen Forschungsgem (German Research Foundation) on the ²Dok (Inter-Zwei-Dok) platform at https://intr2dok.vifa-recht.de/content/index.xml.Copyright © 2018 The Author. For the last two years, the government of the state of Selangor in Malaysia has attempted to navigate its way through the Malaysian court system; questioning the constitutionality of re-delineation of electoral boundaries in the state by the Malaysian Elections Commission. This would appear seemingly straightforward as a constitutional question to be determined by the courts vis-à-vis judicial review. The reality, however, is much more bleak. It appears that the Election Commission’s actions can remain largely unchallenged, not only through ouster clauses in particularized elections legislation, but also through the unwillingness of the judiciary to recognize the importance of the constitutional question relating to fair and equitable electoral management
Affirmative Action in Malaysia: Constitutional Conflict with the ICERD?
No full textVerfassungsblog: On Matters Constitutional is hosted by Deutschen Forschungsgem (German Research Foundation) on the ²Dok (Inter-Zwei-Dok) platform at https://intr2dok.vifa-recht.de/content/index.xml.Copyright © 2018 The Author. Since the landmark event of 9th May 2018 in Malaysia, when a peaceful, democratic revolution dismantled the stronghold of Malaysia’s single-party rule for the past 61 years, the newly minted government has made robust promises for the betterment of Malaysian citizens. One of these promises includes a renewed commitment to the development of human rights in the country. This commitment was recently tested, as Malaysia debated a decision to ratify the United Nations International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). A 700-odd crowd protested and opposed Malaysia’s intended ratification, amongst other vocal opponents who have expressed themselves through press conferences and social media. Four days ago, Malaysia finally decided not to ratify the ICERD. Why, one might ask? Is it really an unreasonable thing to hope for racial equality?An answer could lie in what Thomas Sowell once stated: “When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.
MultiEmo: Multilingual, Multilevel, Multidomain Sentiment Analysis Corpus of Consumer Reviews
No full textMultiEmo, a new benchmark data set for the multilingual sentiment analysis task including 11 languages. The collection contains consumer reviews from four domains: medicine, hotels, products and university. The original reviews in Polish contained 8,216 documents consisting of 57,466 sentences. The reviews were manually annotated with sentiment at the level of the whole document and at the level of a sentence (3 annotators per element). We achieved a high Positive Specific Agreement value of 0.91 for texts and 0.88 for sentences. The collection was then translated automatically into English, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese.
