Abstract: Warning systems have changed rapidly over the last centuries, from local personal warnings to radio to TV news up to other governmental channels such as modern warning apps. Still, a rather untouched area in this regard is the role of

Abstract: Cable landing stations (CLS) are facilities that host components required for the operation of subsea data cables (SDC) and facilitate their interconnection with terrestrial networks. SDC have an essential role for the secure operation of internet communication. However, as

Abstract: Submarine Data Cables (SDCs) are critical infrastructures that handle the majority of global network traffic. Despite their importance, SDCs receive limited media coverage and public attention, which creates significant gaps in understanding their vulnerabilities and significance. This thesis explores

As the prevalence of hate speech on social media continues to rise, there is an increasing rationale for the implementation of AI-based moderation systems. This study addresses the existing research gap in understanding how individual factors, including user familiarity with

Abstract: Disinformation and hate speech are often highlighted as major challenges within social media landscapes.
