From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…Our model reveals that strong identity-based tolerance can create a “radicalized” structure, which allows extremists and moderates–who disagree in opinion but share an identity–to maintain stable relationships in emergent clusters; Further, the structure concentrates extremists at the center of the clusters, enabling them to form a critical mass that enlists a broader population. …”

Authentication and key agreement based on three factors and PUF for UAVs-assisted post-disaster emergency communication by Wang, Di, Cao, Yue, Lam, Kwok-Yan, Hu, Yulin, Kaiwartya Omprakash

“…For unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted post-disaster emergency communication networks, UAVs serve as relay nodes of air-based backup network to support transmission of rescue messages to emergency communication vehicles (ECVs), while ECVs provide on-site ground communication and connectivity to the command center (CC) of the rescue operation. Existing works seldom emphasize communication security such as authenticity of communicating parties and integrity of message content. …”

Politics and religion in eighteenth-century North India: the rise of public theology in Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism by Patel, S

“…The texts were specific tools employed by the tradition to address the apparently contradictory mandate to reconcile responsible public engagement with the esoteric transcendent nature of bhakti practices, formulating a public theology which placed at its center bhakti practice. Through examining this innovation, I extract the perspectives from four critical figures in this period, king Jaisingh II, and Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava scholars Viśvanātha, Kṛṣṇadeva and Baladeva, enabling me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the exact nature of public theology for this tradition in this compelling era.…”
