The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

Soft biometrics for surveillance: an overview
No full textBiometrics is the science of automatically recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics such as face, fingerprint, iris, hand, voice, gait and signature. More recently, the use of soft biometric traits has been proposed to improve the performance of traditional biometric systems and allow identification based on human descriptions. Soft biometric traits include characteristics such as height, weight, body geometry, scars, marks and tattoos (SMT), gender, etc. These traits offer several advantages over traditional biometric techniques. Soft biometric traits can be typically described using human understandable labels and measurements, allowing for retrieval and recognition solely based on verbal descriptions. Unlike many primary biometric traits, soft biometrics can be obtained at a distance without subject cooperation and from low quality video footage, making them ideal for use in surveillance applications. This chapter will introduce the current state-of-the-art in the emerging field of soft biometric

›Mark ist ein elegisches Porträt seines Freundes und Mitarbeiters Mark Karbusicky, der 2007 verstarb. Mark
verwebt Schnappschüsse aus der Kindheit mit gefundenem Bildmaterial und Interviews mit Karbusickys
Freunden, seiner Familie und seinem langjährigem Partner, dem transsexuellen Performance-Künstler Mirha-
Soleil Ross, um die Konturen eines Lebens ›im Hintergrund‹ nachzuzeichnen und die Spuren aufzuspüren, die
er in den ihn umgebenden Gemeinschaften hinterlassen hat. Der Kurator Mark Webber bemerkt, dass ›wenige
Filmemacher wiedergefundenes Bildmaterial so emotional einsetzen … Hoolbooms jüngste Arbeit zeigt eine
tiefe Sympathie mit der Situation der Menschen und spricht direkt zu unseren Herzen.‹ Amy Beste, Conversations

›Mark starb mit 35 und Hoolboom machte sich auf die Suche nach Antworten, sprach mit Freunden, untersuchte
Marks Leben, das im Dienste anderer und des Tierschutzes stand, sammelte Bilder und Geschichten.
Was er findet sind nur vage Spuren von Marks Leben in den Straßen und deprimierenden Wohnungen, in einem
Kind, das er zufällig trifft. Es gelingt ihm, eine sehr bewegende Betrachtung über Beziehungen und über die Geheimnisse
der Abwesenheit und der Anwesenheit zu schaffen. Ein Film, der ein ganz eigenes nachdrückliches
Bedürfnis an sich ausstrahlt. Bislang Hoolbooms schönste Arbeit.‹ Bruno Dequen, Festival de Nouveau Cinema,

He is also a best-selling author, award-winning scholar and educator, and clinical supervisor for BC’s largest licensed non-profit program in addictions, trauma, and mental health. Dr. Laird focuses particularly on traumatized and marginalized client populations — those navigating homelessness, mental illness, and complex trauma — and provides professional development training for organizations that serve them: social service agencies, first responders, cultural groups, nonprofits, and educational institutions. He also works extensively with organizations in arts and culture and Indigenous communities to develop trauma-informed practices for cultural programming, museum exhibitions, and community initiatives
Induction of programmed cell death in mammalian cells by isolates of Ross River virus
No full textArthritogenic alphaviruses, such as Ross River virus (RRV) are associated with worldwide outbreaks of human polyarthritis/arthralgia. The pathogenesis of RRV and other alphaviruses is poorly understood. Studies have shown potential links between the different strains of RRV and variation in their pathogenesis and virulence. Currently there is believed to be two circulating strains of RRV, the south western (SW) from the south west region of Western Australia and the north eastern (NE) from the east coast of Australia. Studies have suggested that the persistence of RRV may be the result of an impaired immune response. This study was designed to determine if the SW and NE isolates of RRV have the ability to induce apoptosis in DCs and fibroblasts and discover any possible variation in their apoptosis-inducing capacity. Both Vero cells and murine bone marrow DCs (BMDCs) were infected with the SW74249 (SW) and SW82627 (NE) strains of RRV. A time course analysis of two apoptotic markers and a cell viability marker for both cell types was conducted by flow cytometry. The results indicate RRV- induced apoptosis in both Vero cells and BMDCs, with RRV inducing a stronger pro-apoptotic response in BMDCs than Vero cells, 24 h after infection. Between the two strains there was little variation in the Vero cells over time. In the BMDCs there was some variation with the RRV-SW strain inducing a higher percentage of cell death than the RRV-NE strain, 24 h after infection. Collectively, the data indicates that RRV has the capacity to induce a pro-apoptotic response in DCs, with the SW presenting as more aggressive compared to the NE, potentially leading to greater virulence. This data could help to explain the mechanism of RRV persistence in vertebrate hosts, as well as the reported differences in severity and duration of human clinical symptoms. Immunotherapy aimed at correcting the patient’s dysfunctional immune system, may represent a new strategy for the successful medical treatment of RRV infection
Tonight We're Gonna Party Like its 1999? A conversation between S Mark Gubb and Ross Sinclair
No full textBased on an original interview I conducted with artist for the publication: Tonight We’re Gonna party Like its 1999? - S. Mark Gubb, ed. Ceri Hand, S. Mark Gubb, pp6-32,
UK, Ceri Hand Gallery , 2009.
This completely updated and improved version now extends to over 8000 words, interrogating the previous interview and discussing many works punctuating twenty years of the artists practice. The text explores the relationships between art and music and the political and how different modes of socially engaged practice can connect with audiences interrogating the relationships between hi and lo culture
