abstract = {Disinformation (false information disseminated with the intent to cause harm) takes many forms, including fake news, audio-video impersonations, data falsification, and more. It is linked to allegations of corruption and fraud against elected officials, which, once disambiguated (whether true or false), will in all cases require immediate action to preserve democracy. An integrated strategy to combat disinformation and corruption is needed, requiring constant vigilance, due diligence, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) collaboration. Our PDS will explore how AI, especially LLMs and Knowledge Graphs, can serve this purpose and automate the necessary means to combat hybrid threats to democracy. The PDS will cover the following issues and latest research advances, allowing also interactive roundtables to ensure participants can contribute insight to the debate: 1. Presentation: fighting jointly against disinformation and corruption 2. Roundtable: what innovations are most effective in combating hybrid threats? 3. Demo: ai and knowledge graphs to disambiguate allegations against elected officials 4. Roundtable: what institutional changes are required to fight hybrid threats? 5. Conclusion: action research helping parliamentary institutions develop AI capabilities. Copyright © 2025 by Association for Information Systems (AIS). All rights reserved.},

abstract = {This study examines the characteristics of youths convicted of sexual crimes (YSC) and youths convicted of non-sexual crimes (YNSC) to create an inclusive typology of clinical characteristics associated with sexual and general delinquency. The sample consisted of 391 justice-involved male youths aged 14–20. Participants completed either the Multidimensional Assessment of Sex and Aggression (MASA) or the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA). Four profiles were identified based on a three-step latent profile analysis (LPA): Normal/Neurotic Delinquents, Macho Delinquents, Sexualised Delinquents, and Psychopathic Sexualised Delinquents. The youths in these profiles differed in the nature and intensity of their clinical characteristics and the incidence of their sexual and non-sexual delinquency. PRACTICE IMPACT STATEMENT: The distribution of YSCs and YNSCs across the four profiles shows that these are not completely distinct populations. Although two profiles in the typology comprised mainly YSCs, YNSCs were present in all profiles. This highlights the importance of rejecting the idea of one-size-fits-all treatment for these youth. The study also highlights the importance of basing treatment on the clinical characteristics and needs of justice-involved youth rather than on their index offence. © 2023 National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers.},

abstract = {Markets go from early stages of entrepreneurial firms, linked to ecosystems to late stage value chains dominated by mature firms. In early stages, pure competition dominates with plenty of market space available to distance the firm from direct competitive pressures and whenever these pressures materialize, the firm can reposition somewhere else in the market and pursue its destiny based on its own competencies. As the market develops and firms start to mature, the competition is partially supplemented with cooperation. The first steps are taken towards common capabilities, or the grouping of several firms' competencies. When these capabilities harden by the time the market reaches the cluster stage, the informal coordination is slowly replaced by active and deliberate collaboration and the first prototype of the value chain emerges. By late stages when market boundaries firm up and the market growth is exhausted, the competitive game becomes a zero sum and firms start displaying strategies of harm towards each other. After a wave of massive M&A, the market is reduced to an oligopoly, where strategies of collusion start to happen. If these activities breach the principles of transparency and accountability, and are abetted by crumbling corporate values, corruption can take hold. This paper will explore the market conditions, external factors and societal tolerance that leads to active and contagious business corruption. We shall rely on the Canadian SNC-Lavalin case to illustrate many points. © American Society for Engineering Management, 2019.},

abstract = {Introduction Forensic psychiatry is the field whose expertise is the assessment and treatment of offending behaviours, in particular when offenses are related to mental illness. An underlying question for all etiological models concerns the manner in which an individual's behaviours are organized. Specifically, it becomes crucial to understand how certain individuals come to display maladaptive behaviours in a given environment, especially when considering issues such as offenders’ responsibility and their ability to change their behaviours. Virtual reality Thanks to its ability to generate specific environments, associated with a high experimental control on generated simulations, virtual reality is gaining recognition in forensic psychiatry. Virtual reality has generated promising research data and may turn out to be a remarkable clinical tool in the near future. While research has increased, a conceptual work about its theoretical underpinnings is still lacking. However, no important benefit should be expected from the introduction of a new tool (as innovative as virtual reality) without an explicit and heuristic theoretical framework capable of clarifying its benefits in forensic psychiatry. Objectives Our paper introduces self-regulation perspective as the most suitable theoretical framework for virtual reality in forensic psychiatry. It will be argued that virtual reality does not solely help to increase ecological validity. However, it does allow one to grant access to an improved understanding of violent offending behaviours by probing into the underlying mechanisms involved in the self-regulation of behaviours in a dynamical environment. Illustrations are given as well as a discussion regarding perspectives in the use of virtual reality in forensic psychiatry. © 2015 L'Encéphale, Paris},
