Cyber security best practices

The incidence and cost of cyber crime is escalating, and no business is immune. Attacks are more sophisticated and more successful, because hackers collaborate and share tools and techniques. So we must collaborate, too. In 2014, we sponsored a series of chief information security officer (CISO) roundtables, where participants shared experiences and enterprise security best practices. Through t…

Fact and Value in Emotion

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu -me’s thinking.

Theory of Literature

We must first make a distinction between literature and literary study. The two are distinct activities: one is creative, an art j the other, if not precisely a science, is a species of knowledge or of learning. There have been attempts, of course, to obliterate this distinction. For instance, it has been argued that one cannot understand literature unless one writes it, that one cannot and …

Confessions of an IT Manager

During my career as an IT professional, strange things have always seemed to happen to me. The true incidents I describe in the chapters that lie ahead are those that are intended to illustrate a point about working in IT. There are many such incidents that I cannot talk about because, in doing so, I would reveal my true identity. Many cannot be used because they are unrelated to the themes of …

The “information age” is transformative for people with disabilities. Never before in modern history have the civil and human rights of people with disabilities aligned so well with fast-moving developments in communications and information technology. Without doubt, the center of the knowledge revolution is the Internet’s World Wide Web (web) which has opened up unprecedented opportuni…

As you will learn, many of the problems faced by contemporary cities have their origins in policies and practices that were initiated many years ago. Only by understanding the…

MONETARY POLICY IN THE UK

We argue in this contribution that the institutional dimension of the Bank of England (BoE) monetary policy and the role the UK HM Treasury assumes in this framework are both firmly based on the New Consensus in Macroeconomics (NCM), a theoretical framework upon which also the Inflation Targeting policy element is firmly based. This paper discusses these aspects of the UK monetary policy, a…

In many of the countries in Europe, North America, and Asia, the majority of individuals and households are using personal computers, the Internet, and mobile telephones. In the United States, this equipment is often re…

Computers at Risk: Safe Computing in the Information Age

Computer systems are coming of age. As computer systems become more prevalent, sophisticated, embedded in physical processes, and interconnected, society becomes more vulnerable to poor system design, accidents that disable systems, and attacks on computer systems. Without more responsible design and use, system disruptions will increase, with harmful consequences for society. They will also re…

THE A-Z OF MEDICAL WRITING

This book has not been written to be read – at least in the usual sense of starting at the beginning, ploughing on to the end, and then remembering (at best) one or two points. I have written it for a completely different purpose, which has come from my experiences over the past 10 years working with doctors and other health professionals to sort out a wide range of writing problems

These methods are used to decompose the difference in a distributional statistic between two groups, or its change over time, into various explanatory factors. While the original work of Oaxaca and Blinder considered the case of the me…
