Bisexuality, religion and spirituality: instigating a dialogue
No full textThis chapter provides a framework and rationale for the edited volume. We argue that although literature on non-normative sexualities continues to grow, bisexuality is still often presented as an appendage. Research on bisexuality in relation to religion and spirituality is even scarcer. Yet, bisexuality, with its focus on fluidity and ambiguity, has the potential to illuminate how gender and sexual binarism impacts upon spiritual and religious life, and how this can be disrupted. Drawing upon key extant literature, this chapter discusses two main themes. Firstly, it explores the dominant discourse of bisexuality in contemporary society. Research continues to evince that bisexuality is grossly misunderstood, due to prevailing ideologies such as monosexism, compulsory coupledom and compulsory monogamy. Indeed, bisexuality fundamentally disrupts hegemonic discourse and enactment of gender and sexuality predicated on binarism. Secondly, the chapter examines the intersection of bisexuality with religion and spirituality. Research literature shows that the outcome of this intersection is complex and multiple. Yet, what is clear is that bisexuality challenges dominant religious discourses on sexuality and gender which results in bisexual erasure. The chapter concludes by presenting summaries of the contributions, framed in relation to the overarching objectives of the volume
An investigation into Chinese cybercrime and the underground economy in comparison with the West
No full textWith 420 million Internet users, China has become the world’s largest Internet population. Yet, the Internet penetration rate in China is only 31.6%, which means that the Chinese Internet population has the potential to triple in size in the foreseeable future. With cybercrimes transcending national boundaries, the security of the Internet in China is becoming increasingly significant to the global Internet. As in the West, organised cybercrimes are flourishing in China. With a rapidly expanding Internet population, China is fast becoming a giant hub of cybercrime activities. Therefore, it is in the interest of Western cyber-security experts to increase their attention to China’s cyber-security
University of California Press eScholarship editions in process
No full textIn this collection of passionately argued essays, the internationally acclaimed poet and critic Wai-lim Yip calls Western scholarship to account for its treacherous representation of non-Western literature. Yip moves from Plato to Hans-Georg Gadamer, from Chuang-tzu to Mao Tse-tung, from John Donne to Robert Creeley, as he attempts to create a double consciousness that includes the state of mind of the original author and the expressive potentials of the target language. He aims, first, to expose the types of distortions that have occurred in the process of translation from one language to another and, second, to propose guidelines that will prevent this kind of linguistic violence in the future
Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2
No full textTitle: Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2, Author: Davin Y.N. Yip. Location: ThodeChi-square approximation of Retelling's generalized T0^2 have
been investigated by Professor Tiku. In this project, further results
on the approximation are presented and examined. Also, an F approximation
for the distribution of Retelling's generalized T0^2 is proposed. The
results are compared with other approximations and discussed.ThesisMaster of Science (MSc

The digital underground economy: a social network approach to understanding cybercrime
No full textEmphasized in both the National Security Strategy [11] and the Cyber Security Strategy [3], cybercrime is now a Tier-One national threat to the United Kingdom, a threat which must be addressed as our lives become ever more embedded in the digital economy. Recent cybercrime statistics [14, 24] indicate that with hundreds of millions worth of damage, cybercrime remains one of the primary threats facing nations, corporations and ordinary people. The intriguing question then is how has cybercrime managed to evolve into such a persistent problem despite almost a decade of extensive research into cybersecurity
