“…Nor is the realm of imagination, or even a collective imaginary (Crabu et al 2024). People seek tangible representations, something that transitions from potentiality to sensory perception through the concrete expression of ideas, thus becoming perceptible and tangible for all to see and experience (Bechberger et al 2021). While fantasies, imagination, and the imaginary hold varying levels of social significance, they are, to some extent, always enigmatic and concealed, lying partly in realms beyond visibility and perception (Ernst and Schröter 2021).…”

This paper investigates the complex relationship between technology, religion, and sacrifice, positing this last term as a pivotal concept for understanding the evolution and impact of technological advancements. Through a detailed examination of various cultural and religious frameworks, it explores how artificial intelligence and other modern technologies both challenge and redefine traditional notions of the sacred and the profane. By analyzing historical and contemporary practices, the study highlights the paradoxical role of sacrifice in the digital age, serving as both a metaphor for the loss inherent in technological progress and a foundational principle that shapes the ethical landscapes of innovation.

“…According to graph theory (Wasserman and Faust 1994 ; Borgatti 2009 ; Burguillo 2018 ; Bechberger and Perryman 2020 ; Galety et al 2022 ), instead of using the three matrices (adjacency and affiliation matrices) it is possible to represent a network composed of several entities as a two-mode network. Therefore, in order to create the semantic network embedded within the web discourse of the airline’s OSN, we defined, in Eq.…”

This paper explores the use of social network analysis (SNA) on airlines’ online social networks (OSNs) to extract valuable information for decision support, by analyzing interactions and discursive exchanges between users. The research is focused on fostering customer service of an airline company during a strike period, namely by detecting influential customers (whether satisfied or dissatisfied), address pending requests, and enhancing customer satisfaction, thus promoting issue-solving, and increasing responsiveness. The methodology involves analyzing data from the Facebook account of an airline company, using SNA to structure the data, and calculating metrics to detect possible situations to be addressed by customer service. The research concludes that it is possible to extract valuable information for decision support by analyzing the metrics that were built over the interactions and discursive exchanges between OSN users. SNA metrics enable to measure airline’s call-center performance in terms of speed of answer and customer satisfaction, to identify active users requiring additional support, as well as highly influential customers who may impact on the overall customer satisfaction, thus helping to resolve issues more efficiently. This study provides both theoretical and practical implications: it contributes to the existing literature by integrating social interaction and SNA for decision support in airline’s service context; and it provides practical insights into how companies can use SNA metrics to improve customer service. The research also highlights and corroborates the importance of monitoring social media interactions for decision-making and improving customer service.

“…Next, in the key vault, we assume that the adversary found a service principal password. Finally, by enumerating the service principal's access rights, the adversary discovers that the service principal has Azure subscriptions Owner rights (4). With that right, the adversary has widespread access to all resources located under this subscription.…”

The challenge of securing IT environments has reached a new complexity level as a growing number of organisations adopt cloud solutions. This trend increases the possibility of overseen attack paths in an organisation’s IT infrastructure. This paper proposes a methodology for assessing the security of a Microsoft cloud tenant based on the relationships between different cloud entities through the use of graphs. This paper argues for using graph theory as an effective method to understand and uncover complex entity attack paths. To achieve this, we implemented a graph analytics platform using data from a Microsoft cloud test tenant. Methods based on graph theory proved to measurably reduce possible attack paths. Our research can support defenders who want to better understand the interrelationships of Microsoft cloud entities as well as identify and remediate possible attack paths.
