This essay provides an overview of the relationship between surveillance, individuals, and reality. To do this, I use a multilevel perspective that connects power (from agency to structure) social systems theory. novel approach means taking holistic view on how individuals are managed beyond ideas resistance technology. At level, constrained by continuous interactions through digital behavioral...

We consider the constraints on the effective Lagrangian of gauge fields on D-branes imposed by the compatibility of the description by non-commutative gauge theory with that by ordinary gauge theory in the presence of a constant B field background. It is argued that the constraints are in general derived without assuming the form of the field redefinition which relates the non-commutative gauge...

This study examined the conflict that married women experienced between work and family roles, and analysed the coping behaviour. Data from 82 professional women from six research institutes revealed that married women experienced work-family conflict with varying intensities in trying to meet the expectations of work and family roles. In managing the work-family conflict, the women tended to c...

Despite efforts to dispel discrimination, workplace discrimination still occurs. We introduce two classes of identity management strategies individuals use to mitigate the negative consequences of discrimination: identity switching (i.e., deemphasizing target identities and recategorizing to a more positively valued identity) and identity redefinition (i.e., stereotype reassociation and regener...

A number of issues in heterotic double field theory are studied. This includes the analysis of the T-dual configurations of a flat constant gauge flux background, which turn out to be non-geometric. Performing a field redefinition to a nongeometric frame, these T-duals take a very simple form reminiscent of the constant Qand R-flux backgrounds. In addition, it is shown how the analysis of arXiv...

In this article we show that persons with communicative disabilities are often involved in storytelling that does not necessarily conform to the conventional expectations of what constitutes a narrative. By analyzing the relationship between story and storytelling event, and the relation between what could be called the primary storyteller and the vicarious storyteller, we show that storyteller...
