This document summarizes a research project examining public service announcements produced by the BBC World Service Trust in Ethiopia from 2006-2007. The project aimed to promote sexual health among Ethiopian youth using radio programs. The research investigated production methods and the application of Western advertising techniques in a developing country context. Interviews were conducted with project staff and focus groups discussed reactions to different radio spots. The responses suggested the messages were generally clear but some content may have been seen as offensive. Overall reception of the radio programs was mixed due to the politicized environment and distrust of state-run radio.
This document provides guidance for an assignment on animation. Students are instructed to prepare a 15-minute group presentation connecting their experience at a film festival to researched animation styles.

Key issues involve balancing appropriate technical solutions, opportunities for digital businesses, and promoting Birmingham's innovation.
Presentation On Participation, Remediation, Bricolage Considering Principal...sgie6824
The document discusses key concepts in digital culture including participation, remediation, and bricolage. It outlines paradigm shifts from print to online media, including moving from a linear, hierarchical structure to multivocal networks. Digital culture involves the values and practices users create online and offline. The document also discusses Jean Baudrillard's three types of simulacra and how culture is now focused on recombining past media forms. Participation involves users becoming active in meaning making. Remediation describes the constant remixing of older and newer media forms. Bricolage legitimizes hybridity and mixture to create new meanings from borrowing and plagiarism.
Creating conditions for meaningful research participationKelly Ann McKercher
In the customer experience world, we often talk about understanding and strengthening the experience customers have with our products and services.
What about the research experience?
Understanding what constitutes meaningful and worthwhile research experiences allows us to hold ourselves and our research partners accountable. It’s up to us to empathise with, understand and create the relevant conditions for participants to contribute in the ways meaningful for them.
Birmingham has a growing tech sector, with 20,000 jobs and 3,450 firms in 2003-2007, concentrated in software/computer games. Most tech firms in Birmingham are small, with 93% employing 10 people or fewer. The tech sector makes up a declining share of Birmingham's overall economy.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
