In recent years, we have experienced the proliferation of videogames that have, as their main mode of play, the creation of in-game content. Even though existing literature has looked into various characteristics of these games, one of their aspects that warrants further exploration is the monetisation practices that can emerge in their context. Through our ongoing ethnographic study, we became...

As Information Technology (IT) has become increasingly important to the competitive position of firms, managers have grown more sensitive to their organization's overall IT risk management. Recent publicity concerning losses incurred by companies becauseofproblcms with their sophisticated information systems has focused attention on the importance of these systems to the organization. In an att...

Twitter has become a major source of data for social media researchers. One important aspect of Twitter not previously considered are deletions – removal of tweets from the stream. Deletions can be due to a multitude of reasons such as privacy concerns, rashness or attempts to undo public statements. We show how deletions can be automatically predicted ahead of time and analyse which tweets are...

We present a solution for modeling the dependencies of an IT infrastructure and determine the availability of components and services therein using Markov logic networks (MLN). MLNs offer a single representation of probability and first-order logic and are well suited to model dependencies and threats. We identify different kinds of dependency and show how they can be translated into an MLN. Th...

In this study, Bambusa bambos which is one of the locally available bamboo species was processed with different operations to get long fiber bundles. There are three methods extraction incorporated here namely mechanical extraction, chemical and combined & extraction. It has observed that by implementing all above methods, only third method called very much useful good quality fiber. Alkali sol...

Many bundle gerbes constructed in practice are either infinite-dimensional, or finite-dimensional but built using submersions that far from being fibre bundles. Murray and Stevenson proved on simply-connected manifolds, bundles with connected fibres, always have a torsion $DD$-class. In this note I prove an analogous result for wide class of principal bundles, relaxing the requirements fundamen...

nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare idiopathic hamartomatous anomaly of the skin characterized by the presence of clusters of mature fat cells among the collagen bundles of the dermis. the classic, or solitary type, presents with asymptomatic soft, skin-colored to yellow papules or nodules. we report the case of a 12-year-old boy with congenital, classical nevus lipomatosus cuta...

A risk inventory provides an integrated view on risk management artifacts, e.g., risks, risk controls, and performance indicators. In this paper, we show how adapting the enterprise architecture management processes (EAM) may provide a foundation for an integrated IT risk inventory. Based on a design research approach, we develop a systematic approach for integrating the disciplines of risk man...
