Television violence and violent behavior
This document discusses the relationship between television violence and violent behavior. It notes that most research has found exposure to television violence can influence viewers, especially children, by desensitizing them to violence, making them more fearful or aggressive, and potentially influencing them to see violence as an acceptable way to solve problems. However, some refute these effects, arguing children cannot distinguish between fiction and reality or that longitudinal studies have not found consistent results. The document aims to examine the impacts of television violence on viewers' wellbeing and behavior.

tv violence
Several studies and reports from organizations like the NAEYC, APA, and Kaiser Family Foundation found that the amount of violence depicted on television, especially in children's programming and cartoons, has significantly increased since the 1980s. On average, children's shows contain about 20 violent acts per hour and by elementary school, the average child has seen over 8,000 depictions of murder or violence on TV. Experiments show children who watch violent clips are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior themselves afterwards. Long term studies link heavy television watching in teenagers to later aggression and violence. Violent media is considered a public health threat due to its effects on the brain and potential to influence violent behavior.
TV Violence
Extensive viewing of television violence by children causes greater aggressiveness, and children may imitate violent behaviors they see on TV. TV violence may have immediate or long-term effects on children's behavior, especially for those with emotional or behavioral issues. Subliminal messages are pieces of hidden information that must be uncovered and interpreted, such as backwards audio, hidden visual images, or cryptic codes, and some movies use subtle techniques to embed additional narratives beneath the surface story.

The document examines how televised violence can lead to these negative psychological and behavioral effects in young viewers.
Negative Effects Of Television On Children
This document discusses the negative effects of television on children. It lists several sources that describe these harmful effects, such as increased aggression, difficulty concentrating, and unhealthy habits. The document also notes that excessive television can displace other activities that are more beneficial to children's development, such as outdoor play and reading. Solutions for limiting television's negative impacts are suggested.
Chapter 2: Perspectives on Mass Communication
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 2 on perspectives of mass communication. It describes three main approaches: 1) The functional approach examines how audiences use media and benefits received. 2) The critical/cultural approach analyzes underlying power relationships and interpretations found in media. 3) The empirical approach uses social science techniques to study media effects. It then focuses on explaining the functional approach and how it analyzes why people consume media and what needs it fulfills such as cognition, diversion, social utility, affiliation, expression, and withdrawal.
Media Violence
Media violence refers to the depiction or dissemination of violent or explicit material through various media sources that is considered harmful to viewers. Children in particular spend more time exposed to media than in school, witnessing thousands of acts of violence by age 18. Research shows that viewing media violence is correlated with increased aggressive behavior in youth and may lead to real-world violence. While video games, films, television, and music often contain graphic depictions of violence, determining appropriate restrictions to curb harmful effects while protecting free expression is an ongoing debate.
The Effects of Violence on Tv
1) Violence on TV can negatively impact children in several ways, including increasing aggressive behavior, fearfulness, and acceptance of violence as normal. Over 4,000 studies have found a correlation between TV violence and increased violent or aggressive behavior in children.
2) Certain types of media violence are more likely to influence children, such as violence that is rewarded or has no consequences. Cartoon violence portrayed in a funny or entertaining way can also impact children.
3) While media violence is a concern, not all media aimed at children is negative. Educational children's programming that teaches skills can actually benefit child development. It is important for parents to monitor children's media intake and discuss what they watch.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Independent production companies
- 2. Plan B Presents: This isn’t really a production company but it has created a independent film that is of a similar genre to what I want to create which is a crime drama. There has only been one film from Ben Drew (Plan B) and it is ‘Ill Manors’ which was released in 2012, it was written and directed by Plan B and produced by Aimimage Productions and BBC Films, Plan B even created the soundtrack to the film and it became his 2nd number 1 album. This film follows the lives of four drug dealers, one user and two prostitutes and is meant to reflect what life in London is actually like. The film cost £100,000 to make and made £453,570 in the UK box office, for a first ever film written and directed by Plan B the statistics look promising but it may be because he already had a following from a successful music career. The company that produced this, Aimimage, has no details on the internet so I currently do not know anything about this company other than it’s a UK company and they have produced other films but I have not heard of any of them so it shows that it must be through BBC films. But this is a good example of an independent crime drama film which is what I would want to create.
- 3. Working Title The working title company is a strange one. It initially started off as and independent company with backing from PolyGram from 1992 and it started to become a major competitor for Hollywood companies so it was then folded into Universal Studios in 1999 and is still parented by Universal Studios today and it has grown to be a big success creating very successful films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Pride and Prejudice. This company is a very unique example of a company that started out small and has grew to be a huge success with Four weddings turning a profit of around £250 million which is just one example of a successful film created by them.
