Conceivability and perfect being theology
2024
According to Jeff Speaks, one sort of perfect being theology takes its rise from a description of God as the greatest conceivable being. Speaks offers two problems for this project. One is finding a suitable sense of ‘conceivable’. The other concerns what he calls ‘troublemakers’, attributes that seem to show that God cannot be the greatest conceivable being. Speaks brings these together in a dilemma.

Cybercrime
2025
The growing use of VPNs, proxy servers, and Tor browsers has significantly enhanced online privacy and anonymity. However, these technologies are also exploited by cybercriminals to obscure their identities, posing serious cybersecurity threats. Existing detection methods face challenges in accurately tracing the real IP addresses hidden behind these anonymization tools. This study presents a novel approach to unmasking true identities by leveraging honeypots and Canarytokens to track concealed connections. By embedding deceptive tracking mechanisms within decoy systems, we successfully capture the real IP addresses of users attempting to evade detection. Our methodology was rigorously tested across various network environments and payload types, ensuring effectiveness in real-world scenarios. The findings demonstrate the practicality and scalability of using Canarytokens for IP unmasking, providing a non-intrusive, legally compliant solution to combat online anonymity misuse. This research contributes to strengthening cyber threat intelligence, offering actionable insights for law enforcement, cybersecurity professionals, and digital forensics. Future work will focus on enhancing detection accuracy and addressing the advanced evasion tactics used by sophisticated attackers.

Gaetano Salvemini and foreign policy during the First World War: the collaboration with The New Europe
2023
In 1958, A.J.P. Taylor's essay The Troublemakers explored the tradition of dissent against power politics in the United Kingdom. Gaetano Salvemini, who had always shown a consistent interest in British political and cultural debates, shared many of the positions put forward by these ‘troublemakers’, such as free trade, the fight against military expenditure, and suspicions regarding standing armies. At the outbreak of the First World War, Salvemini used these arguments to support Italy's involvement in the war against autocratic and militarist central powers. Salvemini's journal L'Unità reported the stances expressed by a ‘troublemaker network’ called the Union of Democratic Control, despite their criticism of the United Kingdom's line of action during the war. In the course of the conflict, Salvemini kept in close contact with a specific group of ‘troublemakers’ around Robert Seton-Watson's journal The New Europe. Salvemini championed The New Europe's fight for subject nationalities in the Habsburg Empire, though he criticised their support of Yugoslavian claims to Istria, Trieste and Venezia Giulia. This essay will focus on the complex relationship between Salvemini and these British ‘troublemakers’ through the former's writings and correspondence.

House on fire
2011
A story of courage and risk-taking, House on Fire tells how smallpox, a disease that killed, blinded, and scarred millions over centuries of human history, was completely eradicated in a spectacular triumph of medicine and public health. Part autobiography, part mystery, the story is told by a man who was one of the architects of a radical vaccination scheme that became a key strategy in ending the horrible disease when it was finally contained in India. In House on Fire, William H. Foege describes his own experiences in public health and details the remarkable program that involved people from countries around the world in pursuit of a single objective--eliminating smallpox forever. Rich with the details of everyday life, as well as a few adventures, House on Fire gives an intimate sense of what it is like to work on the ground in some of the world's most impoverished countries--and tells what it is like to contribute to programs that really do change the world.
The University as Troublemaker
2022
This paper begins by considering the claims that in many ways, the university sector is in trouble, and that there are a variety of potential reasons for this state of affairs. Drawing on the etymological insights of the word ‘trouble’, the paper suggests that we can situate the university very differently: we can see it not as an institution in trouble, but rather as a place that troubles and that agitates the mind. It is a troublemaker. It argues that the university is – ipso facto – a place for the agitation and troubling of minds in three distinct ways. First, drawing on the American philosopher, Stanley Cavell’s, idea of passionate utterance, it considers the place of the lecture, and explores how in the encounter of this pedagogical form, the university is a troublemaker. Second, in drawing on Cavell’s ideas of invitation to dialogue, the paper offers a thick account of the civic university, and by doing this, shows how the university is a political troublemaker. Third, it draws on John Williams’ evocative (1965) novel, Stoner, to demonstrate how – through the relationships between lecturer and student – the university can be seen as personal troublemaker. The paper concludes by outlining two influential accounts of the way that academics and students can survive and flourish in the university given the pressures that are increasingly evident in the sector. It shows how these are both problematic, and that hope for the university – and for re-imagining its purpose as troublemaker – can be found in the very ordinariness of the ways in which we talk together.

An Interactive Web-Based Environment Using Pedagogical Agents
2008
This paper describes the architecture of an Interactive Learning Environment (ILE) on the Internet using companions, including a human one geographically distant from the learning site. The achieved system relies on 3-tiers Client/Server architecture (Client, Web Server, Data and applications Server) where human and software agents can communicate via the Internet and use the DTL strategy (Double Test Learning). The architecture contains five main agents: a tutor agent in charge of guiding the learner; a system agent whose role is to manage and to control the accesses to the system; a teacher agent in charge of the management and the updating of the different bases; a learner agent representing the main agent of the system for whom the teaching is dedicated, and finally a learning companion agent whose role can sometimes be as an assistant, and other times, as a troublemaker.

La Universidad como alborotadora
2022
Este artículo comienza considerando las afirmaciones de que, en muchos aspectos, el sector universitario tiene problemas y que hay una variedad de posibles razones para que se dé esta circunstancia. Basándose en las nociones etimológicas de la palabra inglesa «trouble» (problema o dificultad), el artículo sugiere que podemos situar la universidad de forma muy diferente: podemos verla no como una institución con problemas, sino más bien como un lugar que crea problemas y que agita la mente. Es una alborotadora. Sostiene que la universidad es, ipso facto, un lugar para la agitación y la perturbación de las mentes de tres maneras distintas. En primer lugar, partiendo de la idea del filósofo estadounidense Stanley Cavell sobre la expresión apasionada, considera el lugar donde se imparten las clases magistrales y explora cómo, en el encuentro de esta forma pedagógica, la universidad es una alborotadora. En segundo lugar, apoyándose en las ideas de Cavell sobre la invitación al diálogo, el artículo ofrece un relato extenso de la universidad cívica y, al hacerlo, muestra cómo esta institución es una alborotadora política. En tercer lugar, se basa en la evocadora novela de John Williams, Stoner (1965), para demostrar cómo, a través de las relaciones entre el profesor y el alumno, la universidad puede ser vista como una institución que alborota a las personas. El artículo concluye con el esbozo de dos relatos influyentes sobre la manera en que los académicos y los alumnos pueden sobrevivir y prosperar en la universidad, dadas las presiones cada vez más evidentes en el sector. Muestra que ambas cuestiones son problemáticas, y que la esperanza para la universidad, y para la reimaginación de su propósito como alborotadora, puede encontrarse en la propia cotidianidad de las formas en que hablamos entre nosotros.
