New Perspectives on Cybercrime
No full textThis exciting and timely collection showcases recent work on Cybercrime by members of Uclan Cybercrime Research Unit [UCRU], directed by Dr Tim Owen at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. This book offers up-to-date perspectives on Cybercrime based upon a Realist social ontology, alongside suggestions for how research into Cybercrime might move beyond what can be seen as the main theoretical obstacles facing criminological theory: the stagnation of critical criminology and the nihilistic relativism of the postmodern and post-structuralist cultural turn.
Organised into three sections; ‘Law and Order in Cyberspace’, ‘Gender and Deviance in Cyberspace’, and ‘Identity and Cyberspace’, this cutting-edge volume explores some of the most crucial issues we face today on the internet: grooming, gendered violence, freedom of speech and intellectual property crime. Providing unique new theory on Cybercrime, this book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of Criminology, Law, Sociology, Philosophy, Policing and Forensic Science, Information Technology and Journalism, in addition to professionals working within law and order agencies and the security services
An analysis of the precepts available for synthesizing feedback control system when output characteristics are specified
No full textDistinguished Alumni Award Program author. RADM Wayne Meyer, USN. NPS Hall of Fame author (Presented February 23, 2006)This thesis contains a compilation and comparison of some of the techniques in use today for synthesizing and analyzing servomechanisms. The techniques are divided into the categories of Trial and Error Design Methods and Analytical Design Methods. Trial and Error Design Methods include such items as Root Locus techniques, Bode and Nichols plots, and other frequency plane plots. Considerable space is devoted to the Mitrovic method and to the Ross-Warren/Mariotti technique of compensation.
Analytical Design Methods are generally considered to be those which use some definition of error as a performance index, where the objective is to minimize (or
maximize) the performance index. Considerable space is allocated to those methods published by Newton. Some effort is also devoted to the problem of obtaining a proper statement of specifications.U.S. Navy (U.S.N.) authors.http://archive.org/details/annalysisofprece109451162
Samogitian author Neveravičius's issues of noble identity
No full textFabijonas Neveravičius (1900–1981) priskirtinas prie tų netipiškų mūsų kultūros asmenybių, kurių gyvenimas, kūryba leidžia plačiau suvokti XX amžiaus pirmoje pusėje vykusius istorinius procesus, kultūrinę situaciją ir idėjinio pasirinkimo galimybes politinių pervartų akivaizdoje. Žemaitijoje, Pužų dvare, gimęs rašytojas priklausė nelabai gausiam būriui Lietuvos bajorų, perėmusių lietuvių tautinio sąjūdžio idėjas ir aktyviai įsiliejusių į visuomeninį bei kultūrinį nepriklausomos Lietuvos gyvenimą. Šiame straipsnyje mėginama plačiau pažvelgti į Neveravičiaus bajoriškosios savimonės problemą, siekiant atskleisti jo turėtas vertybes. Ne mažiau svarbu parodyti, kaip bajoriškoji savimonė atsiskleidžia jo kūryboje, nepamirštant glaudžių jos ryšių su lenkų kultūra, kurios aplinkoje augo būsimasis rašytojas. Pagaliau, pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas – pasitelkus Neveravičiaus asmenybę parodyti bajoriškojo patriotizmo pavyzdį XX amžiuje. Neveravičiaus apsisprendimas skirti visas jėgas visuomeninei, rezistencinei veiklai, kurios išeivijoje jis ėmėsi su dideliu tikėjimu ir atsidavimu, nedavė trokštamų vaisių ir nepaliko tokio ryškaus pėdsako kaip jo atlikti grožinių kūrinių vertimai ir jo paties originalioji kūryba. Vertingiausią jos dalį sudaro šiame straipsnyje aptartieji istoriniai romanai, kuriuose rašytojas pamėgino grąžinti į lietuvių tautą bajorų luomą, parodyti jo nuopelnus Lietuvai, taip pat atkurti tautos gyvenimui būtiną istorinį tęstinumą, įtraukdamas į literatūros tradiciją ir istorinę atmintį XVIII amžiaus pabaigos – XIX amžiaus pirmos pusės laikotarpį. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Bajorija; Bajoriškoji tapatybė; Fabijonas Neveravičius; Lenkų ir lietuvių santykiai; Lietuvių istorinis romanas (XX a.); Patriotizmas; Fabijonas Neveravičius; Lithuanian historical novel (20th century); Nobility; Noble identity; Patriotism; Polish-Lithuanian relationsFabijonas Neveravičius's life, creation and philosophy allows deeper and wider understanding of historical processes that occurred in the first half of the 20th century in Lithuania, as well as of a cultural situation and possibilities for an ideological choice in view of political turnovers. Neveravičius working for the good of modern Lithuania had never retreated from his noble identity which mostly revealed itself in his historical novels. The article analyses the problem of Neveravičius's noble self-awareness in order to disclose his values, their origin and impact on his choices. The display of his noble self-awareness in his works has also been discussed. Therefore, the article mainly aims at showing an example of noble patriotism in the 20th century through Neveravičius's personalit
The Noble Limestone Member (Conemaugh Group, Pennsylvanian): New Occurences in Noble And Guernsey Counties, Ohio
No full textAuthor Institution: Sears Library, Case Western Reserve UniversityOriginally described from limited exposures in central Noble County, Ohio, the Noble Limestone Member (Congemaugh Group, Pennsylvanian) has recently been discovered at three additional localities in northern Noble County and eastern Guernsey County. The Noble Limestone Member overlies the fresh-water Ewing Limestone Member and occurs beneath the Rock Riffle Run Limestone Member, at a position about thirty feet below the Ames Limestone Member. Both lithology and fossil content serve to distinguish the limestone and shale of the Noble Limestone Member from that of other Conemaugh marine members. The Noble Limestone Member is now known to occur in an outcrop belt at least 25 miles long and is deserving of recognition as a formal rock-stratigraphic unit

A Nietzschean Analysis of Cybercrime and Deviance
No full textThe intention of this thesis is to examine various types of online deviance, such as ‘trolling’ and other forms of cyber bullying with special attention paid to the deviance which occurs on social networking sites and peer-2-peer file sharing websites.
The central claim of this thesis is that deviant behaviour can be influenced (encouraged, magnified) by ‘ressentiment’, which can reside within the individual. This ‘ressentiment’ forms part of a complex array of situational factors called ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’, whereby individuals may experience a particularly strong influence on behaviour but are not predetermined to act in certain ways. In this thesis the author uses Nietzsche’s philosophical notions of ‘Nihilism’, ‘Slave Morality’, ‘ressentiment’, ‘Will to Power’ and the ‘Übermensch’ to build an existential picture of deviant behaviour.
The author also draws upon the criminological/sociological notions of ‘Drift’, ‘Master Status’ and the ‘Techniques of Neutralisation’ (Sykes and Matza 1957) to introduce the new concepts of ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’ (previously referred to as ‘Causal Probability’); and the idea of ‘Situational Influences’. This undertaking is done with the intention of building upon the Meta-theoretical work of Owen (2007 – 2015), which seeks to build bridges between the social and physical sciences. The theory of ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’ is also applied to the deviant activities of internet trolling and anti-social behaviours to demonstrate the influences on behaviour.
Nietzsche’s philosophical notion of ‘Slave Morality’ and ‘ressentiment’ will also be extended when looking at some radical social justice movements, such as ‘AntiFa’, ‘Black LivesMatter’ and the ‘#MeToo’ movement to demonstrate the role that ‘ressentiment’ may play in behavioural choices. To assist this analysis SaulAlinksy’s 1971 book ‘Rules for Radicals’ will be referenced to demonstrate how the rules are based on a collectivist ‘herd’ mentality of slave ‘ressentiment’ and how these rules have themselves lead directly to deviant behaviour, online and offline and how a political correct ideology could be responsible for encouraging such behaviours

Some Comments About the Noble Parliamentary Assemblies of the 18th Century
No full textAutor wiele lat badał sejmiki ziemskie. Zna liczne dokumenty sejmików i napisał na temat sejmików sporo prac. Aktualnie ukazały się dwa duże tomy dotyczące sejmików. Jeden to wydane drukiem dokumenty sejmikowe z XVIII w. Drugi to obszerna monografia sejmiku poznańskiego dotycząca lat 1764–1793. W związku z tym autor przekazuje swoje przemyślenia na temat sejmików XVIII w. Stwierdza, że generalnie przeważają prace o sejmikach dotyczące XVII stulecia i ewentualnie początków wieku XVIII. Był to bowiem okres największego znaczenia zgromadzeń ziemskich (sejmików). Okresowi lat 1764–1793 poświęcono mniej uwagi. Tym cenniejsze są przeto dwa wydane ostatnio tomy. Celem artykułu jest konfrontacja dawnych ustaleń autora z treścią obecnie wydanych dwóch tomów dotyczących sejmików XVIII w. W szczególności odnosi się to do monografii sejmiku poznańskiego z lat 1764–1793. Autor podkreślił, że do 1764 r. niewiele było aktów prawnych regulujących ustrój (organizację i funkcjonowanie) sejmików. Zmieniło się to w okresie licznych reform w latach 1764–1793. Autor podkreśla, że liberalizm i demokracja szlacheckiej Rzeczypospolitej realizowały się w znacznym stopniu poprzez zgromadzenia szlacheckie. Toteż sejmiki stanowią kluczowy problem badawczy dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. Autor zwraca uwagę, że to była nie tylko instytucja państwowa, ale też pewna idea polityczna. Sejmiki były ważnym fragmentem polskiej kultury politycznej.The author studied noble parliamentary assemblies for many years. He knows a lot of their documents and he wrote a lot of works on noble parliamentary assemblies. Currently, two large volumes on noble parliamentary assemblies have been published. One is printed noble parliamentary assemblies’ documents from 18th century. The other is a Poznan noble parliamentary assembly’s monograph concerning the years 1764–1793. In connection to this, the author shares his thoughts on 18th century noble parliamentary assemblies. The author states that in general there are more works on 17th and the beginning of 18th century noble parliamentary assemblies. This is because this was the period of the greatest importance of noble parliamentary assemblies. The years 1764–1793 received less attention. Therefore the two volumes published recently are even more valuable. The aim of the article is to confront the author’s former findings with the content of the two published volumes regarding the noble parliamentary assemblies of the 18th century; in particular, when it comes to the Poznan noble parliamentary assembly’s monograph concerning the years 1764–1793. The author emphasized that until year 1764 there existed not many legal acts regulating the organization and functioning of the assemblies. This changed in the period of numerous reforms between 1764 and 1793. The author points out that liberalism and noble democracy in the Republic (Rzeczpospolita) were mainly realized to a large extent through the noble assemblies. Therefore, the noble parliamentary assemblies are a key research problem of the old Republic. The author points out that it was not only a state institution, but also a political idea. The noble parliamentary assemblies were an important part of the Polish political culture
