Writing Letters to the State: The Normalization of Salazar's Political Police
No full textDuncan Simpson discusses a letter of denunciation written to the political police
during Salazar’s dictatorship in Portugal. Simpson shows how the letter—written
by a woman entreating the police to investigate the morality and the politics of
her husband-to-be—demonstrates the complexity of the relationships between
individuals and the dictatorial state, something that a more top-down, zoomed-out
analytical lens may fail to reveal.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Southern Thailand: from conflict to negotiations?
No full textSummary: In this Analysis, University of Leeds professor Duncan McCargo argues that the recent Malaysian-backed Southern Thai peace initiative has now run into some serious problems. He argues that despite its various shortcomings the initiative is still worthy of support, since it has gained far more traction that any previous attempts to address the decade-long insurgency. Thailand needs to maintain focus on the southern conflict despite its current preoccupation with a national-level political crisis that threatens to topple the government of Yingluck Shinawatra.
Key findings
The conflict in Southern Thailand is one of Asia’s most serious insurgencies, with over 6,000 dead over the last 10 years.
The Malaysian government sponsored negotiations represents the best hope for reaching a political settlement and bringing peace to the region.
However, both sides need to show greater commitment to the negotiations, introducing new structures and procedures

Deadlock Free Specification based on Local Process Properties
No full textWe present a design methodology for the construction of parallel programs that is deadlock free, Provided that the "components" of the program are constructed according to a set of locally applied rules. In our model, a parallel program is a set of processes and a set of events. Each event is shared by two processes only and each process progresses cyclically. Events are distinguished as input and output events with respect to their two participating processes. On each cycle a process must complete all output events that it offers to the environment, be prepared to accept any, and accept at least one, of its input events before completing any computations and starting a new cycle. We show that however the events are distributed among the processes, the program is deadlock free
