Sintercom : experiment in online civil society by Kwok, Amanda Ching Yee

“…It concludes that Sintercom’s experiment did open-up civil society space, at least on the Internet, although at the same time, the government’s experiment with what it saw as a “Light Touch” style of regulations using Sintercom as a testing-ground (due to its prominence in the 1990s Internet) also seemed to have succeeded at that point.…”

Is your ontology as hard as you think? Rewriting ontologies into simpler DLs by Carral, D, Feier, C, Romero, AA, Grau, BC, Hitzler, P, Horrocks, I

“…We investigate cases where an ontology expressed in a seemingly hard DL can be polynomially reduced to one in a simpler logic, while preserving reasoning outcomes for classification and fact entailment. …”

Folk pedagogy? Investigating how and why UK early years and primary teachers use songs with young learners by Hamilton, C, Murphy, VA

How do judges judge racialized economic impact? by Atrey, S

“…The main hypothesis is that while, as Arden LJ confirmed in Elias that economic matters are justiciable, and that racial discrimination attracts a high level of judicial scrutiny, curiously, together, when it comes to judging racialised economic impact, the standard of scrutiny wanes. Judges seem to accord an inordinately and inexplicably high level of deference to decision makers in the economic context. …”

Digest: islands promote population differentiation in dispersive swallows by Estandía, A, Merino Recalde, N

“…How can highly dispersive species give rise to genetically distinct populations? This seemingly paradoxical pattern is common among insular birds, but not in those with continental distributions. …”

The uniqueness trap by Flyvbjerg, B, Budzier, A, Christodoulou, MD, Zottoli, M

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”
