Beyond symbolism: the roles of action planning and case-making in immigrant integration policymaking by Allen, WL, Broadhead, J

“…In response, we examine how municipal actors in 12 cities and regions across the UK have devised and communicated policies on immigrant integration—an area that lacks national policy inputs yet is locally consequential—through the mechanism of “action planning.” Drawing on 6 years’ worth of documentary evidence generated through a university-initiated collaboration with these municipalities, we show how action plans gather attention for objectives and propagate examples of practice to other cities—what we call “case-making.” …”

Pseudo-randomness in cryptography by Bansal Arushi

“…In addition, the paper defines the criteria for a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) and outlines the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) randomness test suite, which offers a framework for evaluating the randomness quality of RNG outputs. The conclusions drawn from this research underscore the indispensable requirement of high-quality randomness in protecting cryptographic infrastructures from advanced threats, calling for continuous advancements and evaluations in PRNG technologies.…”
