In this critical account of Baldacchino’s broad proposal for an emotion-focused phenomenological-psychoanalytic account of ethno-national identity in his article ‘The eidetic of belonging’, I focus my evaluation on three central features that might, even when treated separately, advance contemporary understanding of group self-conceptions and emotion. The first is that affect (emotion or sentim...

This study aimed to criticize modernism discourse in Indonesian high school history textbooks. It focused on (1) The textbooks’ as a national identity and (2) weaknesses of identity. A total six textbooks from 1975 the 1994 curriculum were examined using Discourse Historical Approach (DHA) developed by Martin Reisigl. DHA combines theory, method, methodology with empirical data-based practice. ...

Previous research has investigated whether visual salience (i.e., how much an item stands out) or perceptual load (i.e., display complexity) is the dominant factor in visual selective attention. The evidence has been mixed, with some findings supporting a dominant role for visual salience and some findings supporting a dominant role for perceptual load. However, the complex displays used to imp...

In software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSNs), topology control is a fundamental procedure to maintain the global network topology. However, open channels of SDWSNs make it possible for an attacker eavesdrop, replay, or modify messages, thus posing great threat operations. The security SDWSN has not received enough attention yet. Identity-based cryptography (IBC) may be fitter due its c...

Manual search for totally occluded objects was investigated in 10-, 12- and 14-month-old infants. Infants responded to two types of total hiding in different ways, supporting the inference that object permanence is not a once-and-for-all attainment. Occlusion of an object by movement of a screen over it was solved at an earlier age than occlusion in which an object was carried under the screen....

Three experiments investigated how perceived foreign threats to the United States can influence Americans' endorsement of assimilation and multiculturalism as models for foreign and domestic intergroup relations. The initial study, conducted during the 6-month anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11), discovered that a diverse group of Americans preferred assimilation as ...

Recognition of complex activities from surveillance video requires detection and temporal ordering of its constituent “atomic” events. It also requires the capacity to robustly track individuals and maintain their identities across single as well as multiple camera views. Identity maintenance is a primary source of uncertainty for activity recognition and has been traditionally addressed via di...

In this work we introduce an assurance methodology that integrates assurance case creation with system development. It has been developed in order to provide trust and privacy assurance to the evolving European project PICOS (Privacy and Identity Management for Community Services), an international research project focused on mobile communities and community-supporting services, with special em...

Why are human observers particularly sensitive to human movement? Seven experiments examined the roles of visual experience and motor processes in human movement perception by comparing visual sensitivities to point-light displays of familiar, unusual, and impossible gaits across gait-speed and identity discrimination tasks. In both tasks, visual sensitivity to physically possible gaits was sup...

This chapter is committed to give a comprehensive overview of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), to introduce the basic ideas and the main paradigms behind it, and to show how HIP emerges from the list of potential alternatives with its wild range of possible usability in next generation mobile architectures. The broad scale of feasible advanced mobility management proposals and scenarios, toget...
