Governments across the world are struggling to address market dominance of technology companies through increased regulation. The Australian Federal government found itself leading in platform regulation when, 2021, it enacted News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code. furore surrounding introduction legislation, Facebook's subsequent ‘news ban’ exposed limits a regulatory mode...

BACKGROUND The relevance and effectiveness of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Personnel will be reviewed by the World Health Assembly in 2015. The origins of the Code of Practice and the global health diplomacy process before and after its adoption are analyzed herein. METHODS AND RESULTS Case studies from the European and eastern and southern African regio...

Commercial air travel is a key global industry facilitating the complex daily movements of planes, people, goods, and services across the world. In this paper we analyse contemporary air travel through the conceptualisation of a culture of real virtuality. We contend that air travel now consists of passage through `code/space'. Such code/space includes travel websites, check-in, security checkp...

We present a framework that takes unsynchronized sequential processes along with a temporal specification of their global concurrent behaviour, and automatically generates a concurrent program with synchronization code ensuring correct global behaviour. The synthesized synchronization code is based on monitors with wait and notify operations on condition variables, and mutual-exclusion locks. N...

| Code motion is a technique used to improve global scheduling either during the com-paction of acyclic code or the software-pipelining of loops containing conditional constructs. It can be applied in the context of high-level synthesis of ASICs or in the code generation for ASIPs. Despite its impact on the exploitation of parallelism across basic-block boundaries, code motion might have side e...

Because of the interdependences between instruction scheduling and register allocation, it is not clear which of these two phases should run rst. In this paper, we describe how we modiied a global instruction scheduling technique to make it cooperate with a subsequent register allocation phase. In particular, our cooperative global instruction scheduler performs region scheduling transformation...

Instruction-set randomization (ISR) obfuscates the “language” understood by a system to protect against code-injection attacks by presenting an ever-changing target. ISR was originally motivated by code injection through buffer overflow vulnerabilities. However, Stuxnet demonstrated that attackers can exploit other vectors to place malicious binaries into a victim’s filesystem and successfully ...

The international migration of health personnel is on the rise. Recent data demonstrate increasing reliance on foreign-born and foreign-trained health professionals in OECD countries with a 60 % increase in the total number of migrant nurses and physicians over the last decade and a higher proportionate increase from countries experiencing ‘critical’ health workforce shortages [1]. These trends...

Code loops were introduced by R. L. Griess. Griess [5] and Hsu [7] gave methods to construct the corresponding code loop from any given doubly even binary code; both these methods used some kind of induction. In this paper, we present a global construction of the loop, where we apply the correspondance between the concepts of Moufang loops and groups with triality.
