Cyberbullying: differentiating offenders criminal roles using a narrative‐based approach by Fumagalli, Anita, Trayford, Tori Jillings, Chrysikos, Alexandros

“…However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles. …”

A principles-led approach to information assurance and governance in local government by Brett, Mark

“…This practice-based paper explores a principles-led approach to cyber information governance for local authorities (LAs) in England and Wales, while linking it to a corporate information governance regime to support cyber security and resilience. …”

Approaches to mitigate polymer-core loss in plastic optical fibers: a review by Ioannides, Nicholas, Chunga, E. B., Bachmatiuk, A., Gonzalez-Martinez, I. G., Trzebicka, B., Adebimpe, D. B., Kalymnios, Demetri, Rümmeli, Mark H.

“…This kept them as a specialty fiber for illumination, sensing and low speed short data links. However, continued research and development on the core materials used in POFs are improving their performance significantly as we are now able to manufacture POFs with low transmission loss, high temperature resistance and stable bandwidth over distance. …”

Plotting against our nation: COVID-19, nationalisms, and conspiracy theories in five European countries by Malešević, Siniša, Uzelac, Gordana, Carol, Sarah, David, Lea

“…We focus on the two main issues: 1) the intensity and character of belief in the COVID-19 conspiracy theories across five European societies: Germany, England, Ireland, Serbia, and Sweden; and 2) how is the commitment to specific nationalist ideologies linked with the belief in conspiracy theories. The data indicates that those who described themselves as highly religious and politically right-wing are more prone to believe in the strong versions of conspiracy theories. …”

Insight with stumpers: normative solution data for 25 stumpers and a fresh perspective on the accuracy effect by Ross, Wendy, Vallée-Tourangeau, Frédéric

“…Alongside normative data for 25 stumpers, we also demonstrate that insight is linked to certainty in the answer rather than whether the answer is correct or not and that certainty (subjective correctness) is a stronger predictor of the feeling of insight than objective correctness. …”
