Individuals, organizations, and devices are now interconnected to an unprecedented degree, forcing identity risk analysts to redefine “identity” in such contexts and explore new techniques for analyzing expanding threat contexts. Major hurdles to modeling in this field include a lack of publicly available data due to privacy and safety concerns, as well as the unstructured nature of incident re...

Undergraduate research and international experiences are often described as high-impact educational practices beneficial for undergraduate student success supporting the development of science identity intercultural competencies. While several studies have investigated impact on students from minoritized groups, fewer focused their engagement in global experiences, still explored experiences. D...

abstract background: chronic renal disease and hemodialysis cause numerous psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual challenges for both patients and their families. overcoming these challenges is possible only through providing holistic support for the patients. today, despite the support provided by family and professional caregivers for the patients, patients still express dissatisfacti...

Decision making can be conceptualized as the culmination of an integrative process in which evidence supporting different response options accumulates gradually over time. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate brain activity leading up to and during decisions about perceptual object identity. Pictures were revealed gradually and subjects signaled the time of recognition (...

Balanced Identity Theory [1] formalizes a set of relationships between group attitude, group identification, and self-esteem. While these relationships have been demonstrated for familiar and highly salient social categories, questions remain regarding the generality of the balance phenomenon and its causal versus descriptive status. Supporting the generality and rapidity of cognitive balance, ...

Facial expressions of emotion constitute a critical portion of our non-verbal social interactions. In addition, the identity of the individual displaying this expression is critical to these interactions as they embody the context in which these expressions will be interpreted. To identify any overlapping and/or unique brain circuitry involved in the processing of these two information streams ...

A report on 16S rRNA gene sequence re-analysis and digitalization is presented using Lysinibacillus species (one example) deposited in National Microbial Repositories in India. Lysinibacillus species 16S rRNA gene sequences were digitalized to provide quick response (QR) codes, Chaose Game Representation (CGR) and Frequency of Chaose Game Representation (FCGR). GC percentage, phylogenetic analy...

The use of conceptual neighbourhood diagrams (CNDs) is now fairly well established in AI literature. In AI applications, and in particular Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR), the nodes of CNDs are typically populated by individual relations defined on regions or intervals, and the edges connecting adjacent nodes as continuous transformations between them. While CNDs have been used to measure t...

This article reports on the experiences of a group of deaf and hard-of-hearing alumni of Griffith University in south-east Queensland, Australia. Participants completed a survey answering questions about their communication patterns and preferences, working lives, career barriers or difficulties anticipated and encountered, and workplace accommodations used or sought. Results revealed a range o...
