It is the place where Mary may have spent her last days. Indeed, she may have come in the area together with Saint John, who spent several years in the area to spread Christianity. Mary preferred this remote place rather than living in crowded place. The house is a typical Roman architectural example, entirely made of stones. In the 4th century AD, a church, combining her house and grave, has been built. The original two-stored house, which consisted of an anteroom (where today candles are proposed), bedroom and praying room (Christian church area) and a room with fireplace (chapel for Muslims). A front kitchen fell into ruins and has been restored in 1940's. Today, only the central part and a room on the right of the altar are open to visitors. From there one can understand that this building looks more like a church than a house. Another interesting place is the "Water of Mary", a source to be found at the exit of the church area and where a rather salt water, with curative properties, can be drunk by all. Paul VI was the first pope to visit this place in the 1960's. Later, in the 1980's, during his visit, Pope John-Paul II declared the Shrine of Virgin Mary has a pilgrimage place for Christians. It is also visited by Muslims who recognize Mary as the mother of one of their prophets. Every year, on August 15th a ceremony is organized to commemorate Mary's Assumption. THE HOUSE OF VIRGIN MARY TOUR *THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS* The temple of Artemision is known as one of theSeven Wonders of the Antic world. It has been built in the areas of Ephesus on a flat area which has over the centuries turned into a swamp. Today one can only see the ruins of the foundations of this marvelous construction of the Hellenistic Age, entirely made of marble and full of sculptured columns' capitals and shafts. The most beautiful remaining of this temple are today exhibited in the London British Museum. The oldest remaining found date back till the VIth century BC. It was surrounded by 36 huge columns, later enlarged upon the orders of the Lydian King, Kreisos, during the VIth century BC. Most of the exhibits in the London British Museum belong to this period. The new Artemision has been rebuilt in the IInd century BC. Located on top of the previous one, it had tremendous dimensions: 127 columns of each 17,5 meters high. Unfortunately this one has also been destroyed by fire, reconstructed and again demolished by earthquakes, rebuilt and at last looted by Goths one year later.The statue of many-breasted Artemision was the symbol of the temple but also of abundance, hunting and wild life. The genuine statue of Artemision, removed during the fire, is today exhibited in theSelcuk Museum. Many copies of this statue found during the latest excavations date back from the Roman period. THE TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS TOUR *The BASILICA of ST JOHN* It is believed that the evangelist St. John had spent his last years in the region around Ephesus and buried in the southern slope of Ayosolug Hill. Three hundred years after the death of Saint Paul, a small chapel was constructed over the grave in the 4th century. The church was changed into a marvelous basilica during the region of Emperor Justinian (527 -565 AD). The monumental basilica was in the shape of a cross and was covered with six domes. Its construction, being of stone and brick, is an extremely rare find amongst the architecture of its time. Raised by two steps and covered with marble, the tomb of St John was under the central dome, that was once carried by the four columns at the corners. The columns in the courtyard reveals the monograms of Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora. Constructed in the 5th century AD, the baptistery is north of the nave, with its key hole shape. Rampart walls around the church were constructed for protection from the Arabian attracts in the 7th - 8th centuries AD. The impressive 10th century AD frescoes representing St John, Jesus and a Saint, ornament the chapel. With the invasion of Turks, the chapel was used as a mosque in the 14th century; unfortunately Basilica of Saint John became unusable due to the serious earthquake in the same century. The excavations around the Basilica of Saint John has been continuing under the supervision of Ekrem Akurgal since 1973, with the financial supports of George B. Quatman. THE BASILICA OF ST.

The site of a succession of great ancient civilizations, Ephesus, on the south-west coast of modern Turkey, embodied a peculiarly fertile synthesis of architecture and culture. In 356BC the Greeks built the Artemesium (a colossal Ionic temple dedicated to Artemis the fertility goddess) which was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. During the 2nd century BC, Ephesus was the fourth largest city in the eastern Roman Empire, famous for its Artemesium, the Library of Celsus and its medical school.

Then the practical training and the breathing exercises are taught on the surface, beginners are taken underwater by hand. A gradual descent with long enough pauses at each meter allows the beginner to feel confident and comfortable. At the third meter you reach the bottom and can feed the fish while the second instructor takes your pictures and videos (purchase optional). Now you are feeling relaxed, confident and prepared to swim around the island at a deeper level (max. depth for beginners is 6 meters). Your instructor adjusts the air in your suit precisely so that you stay suspended at the required depth. No gravity, no worries, just admire the beautiful world embracing you. Certified Divers escorted by their buddy-instructors, can enjoy deeper levels depending on their individual certificates.

The mosque was built by the master Syrian architecture Ali son of Mushimish al -Damishki, between the years of 1374 and 1375. The mosque was styled asymmetrically unlike the traditional style, The location of the windows, doors and domes were not matched, purposely. In the entrance of the mosque, an inscription from the god decorates the doorway. The columns inside the house of prayer are from earlier ruins in Ephesus, making an interesting contrast to the mosque. The domes are ornamented by turquoise and blue faience, revealing the characteristic of Ottoman style. Crown-like doors from Seljukian architectural style later combine with the specific decoration elements of architectural style. The mosque was repaired in 1934. The mystical atmosphere of "Isa Bey Mosque" must be experienced in the excursion around this region. ISA BEY MOSQUE *SIRINCE VILLAGE* This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed, its habitants gave this name on purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village. Still after years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince ("pretty"). As the village is located on the top of a mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards' and peach trees' views on his way. Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture as of the 1920's: after the Independence War, people exchange between Greek and Turks has occurred and all those typical Greek houses, though they kept their original outside characteristics, have received the local layout inside. The most beautiful specimens are open to visitors. And even in the courtyard of one of them, one will discover a nicely restorated Orthodox church. All the narrow streets of the village belong to the women, selling handcrafts of all kinds, olive oil. Another attraction of Sirince is its wine: try its taste in small caf�s or in the former municipal school restorated. Though Sirince is developing its tourism very quickly, it has been able to preserve its authenticity and the meaning of its name.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] [AJIS] New Article Published: Information Security and People: A Conundrum for Compliance Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 02:30:35 +0000 Von: John Lamp <john.lamp(a)deakin.edu.au> An: ISHoDs (IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISAus (IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hi, The Australasian Journal of Information Systems has just published its latest article. Pham, H., Pham, D., Brennan, L., & Richardson, J. (2017). Information Security and People: A Conundrum for Compliance. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1321 Abstract This evaluation of end-users and IT experts/managers' attitudes towards performing IT security tasks indicates important differences between their perspectives on what is and is not necessary to establish a secure corporate IT environment. Through a series of case studies, this research illustrates that making it easier for end-users to comply does not necessarily equate to enhanced implementation of security measures. End-users want to be autonomous, competent, self-motivated and active participants in the development of secure environments. However, managers and experts want to limit autonomy to ensure that procedures are followed closely, rather than permitting flexibility. This results in the creation of environments that are intrinsically de-motivating rather than motivating end-users to become self-determined and self-regulating co-creators of a secure IT environment. The paper also discusses alternative approaches to developing a human system that works for end-users and experts. Keywords: security compliance; security management; end user security behaviour -=-=-=- Call for Papers AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context. Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches. Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed. All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor. AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied: * Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline. * Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge. * Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice. * Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique. * Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit. * Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate. * Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content. * Reliability - data available; replication possible. * References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient - appropriate AJIS articles referenced * Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. AJIS has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of Information Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business Deans' Council.

This is attributed to advancements in sensing and actuation systems that can integrate into the building infrastructures, coupled with the new environmental concerns that call for new life, work, and mobility styles. This change, whether gradual or sudden, evident or seamless, can have a signicant inuence on our everyday experiences, and thus entails eorts to envision possible scenarios and plan for them. We believe that future buildings, as they would embody our digital and physical interactive daily experiences, should be designed and nurtured in a dialogue with their users, both at the individual as well as social levels. This concern has become of central importance in the newly emerging research domain of Human-Building Interaction (HBI), which seeks to provide a user-centred lens to addresses the physical, spatial, and social design opportunities and challenges that emerge as our built environments become immersively interactive. In this special issue we aim to bring together contributions from the elds of human-computer interaction, building and urban architecture, and social sciences; and provide a common platform for collaboratively creating and sharing future 'images' of Human-Building Interaction in a time frame of 10-20 years. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- Three types of submission are invited: • Conceptual contributions envisioning the evolution of HBI (ideally in specific use situations such as home, oce, school, urban public spaces, transportation vehicles, etc.) • Design and evaluation of technologies and physical artifacts to enhance human interaction with, experience in buildings.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP: Crowd Dynamics: Conflicts, Contradictions, and Cooperation Issues in Crowdsourcing (Int. Journal on CSCW) Datum: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 07:59:31 +0000 Von: Ludwig, Thomas <thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de> Antwort an: Ludwig, Thomas <thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> /[Apologies for cross-postings]/ 2^nd Call for Papers */Computer Supported Cooperative Work: The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices (JCSCW)/** **Special Issue on Crowd Dynamics: Conflicts, Contradictions, and Cooperation Issues in Crowdsourcing*** /Organizing Special Issue Editors/ Thomas Ludwig (University of Siegen), Karin Hansson (Stockholm University), Tanja Aitamurto (Stanford University), Neha Gupta (University of Nottingham) /Deadline for Submissions/ March, 31 2017 Through this special issue we aim to make contributions towards the emerging and intriguing subject of crowdsourcing and enrich academia’s understanding of individual and collaborative aspects of crowdsourcing. ----------------------------------------------------- /Scope of the Special Issue/ Unfair reputation systems, slow payments, lack of transparency, discrimination, misunderstandings and misinterpretations, lack of access to decision-making or socio-spatial inequalities are only some of the many reasons for conflicts in crowdsourcing. The divisive logic of the system, its related tools and practices as well as the sharing processes in the peer-community creates interesting dynamics and new foci on old conflicts. The development of new types of working relationships has previously been problematized for several reasons. For example, Irani and Silberman (2014) have questioned crowd-worker dynamics from a labor rights perspective, leading to calls for collective action by crowd workers (Salehi et al., 2015). Martin et al’s (2014, 2016) analysis of the online discussion in the community of workers at the Mechanical Turk, shows the tensions between the dividing logic of the system and the information-sharing practices in the community. Gupta et al’s (2014) study of Indian workers shows how lack of control over the work environment affect participants work practices. Other common conflicts are due to rejected work, slow or unfair payments, lack of transparency, or technical problems (Six et al., 2010). In the area of digital democracy, digital differentiation and inequalities within the crowd becomes problematic (Hansson, 2014). Studies of Amazon Mechanical Turk (Fort et al., 2011), Wikipedia (Menking & Erikson, 2015; Ortega et al., 2008), Twitter (Duggan et al., 2015) and crowdsourced policymaking (Aitamurto and Landemore, 2016) indicate a lack of representativeness in terms of age, gender and education. Cultural geographers have also pointed out the hegemonic discourses and socio-spatial relations in the geographic web (Crampton et al., 2013; Soden & Palen, 2014; Shelton, 2014). But crowdsourcing, nowadays, also has an impact on physical “offline” activities, such as conducting voluntary work in crisis management (Ludwig et al., 2015) or making use of the large part of population to contribute to scientific challenges via crowdsourcing, defined as Citizen Science (Irwin, 1995). The physical circumstances and potential conflicts, such as endangering voluntary crowd workers or citizen “scientists” also needs to be considered. However, there is a need of studies of actual work practices in crowd-work settings and a more empirical research on the conflicts and dynamics within the more fluid work and interactive relations in crowd work. There is also a lack of a more structured overview of typologies of participation indicating levels of power and agency in the context of crowd work and crowdsourcing at large. This special issue therefore focuses on research exploring actual reasons, practices, power relations, and dynamics of conflicts within crowdsourcing and crowd work. /Sample Topics/ We invite participants from a diversity of disciplines and perspectives to contribute with insights about types of crowdsourcing in practice, to deepen our understanding of actual work practices and relations in contexts such as crowd work, peer-production and citizen science. Furthermore, we also aim to gather typologies of participation examining and explaining power relations of crowd work. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * /Transparency in Crowdsourcing:/Empirical studies, design case studies or theoretical work about how to allow crowd workers to understand, configure, personalize, and control applications relating to crowdsourcing. What levels of transparency exist in the implementation of crowdsourcing? What are the clashes of needs that exist between crowd workers and sourcers? What types of conflicts of expectations arise in crowd contexts? What is the role of transparency in resolving or amplifying these conflicts? * /Tools, processes, services and architectures for supporting the management of conflicts, contradictions, or cooperation issues in crowdsourcing contexts/: What are the tools, services and architectural infrastructures for discovering or supporting the actual work of and conflicts in crowdsourcing? What are the characteristics of tools that support conflict management and/or conflict resolution in crowdsourcing? * /Social and organizational factors influencing conflicts, contradictions, or cooperation issues: /Crowdsourcing deals highly with social and organizational aspects. What are the social and organizational aspects that foster conflicts in practice? How is labor and capital distributed? How could social and organizational aspects help overcome inequity and how does technology foster those aspects? What are dynamics of inclusion/exclusion in crowdsourcing, reflecting societal issues of race, gender, identity, and geography? * /Tensions between “offline” and “online” activities: /Crowdsourcing often has an impact on physical activities and vice versa. Therefore the physical circumstances and potential conflicts need to be considered. What problems exist while conducting physical crowd work? What areas of tension exits? How could technology support solving those conflicts? * /Social computing approaches for crowdsourcing:/The emergence and success of crowdsourcing practices may (not) rely on supporting peer networks and on sharing results that allow pooling resources in user communities. What are conflicts or contradictions between crowd members and crowd workers? How does technology help addressing and resolving those conflicts? * /Research ethics in citizens’ science: /When relying on crowdsourcing, crucial ethical questions arise: What kind of work can be sourced to the crowd? What legal, moral and ethical protections are missing or should be in place to support the crowd and the sourcers? What are the ethical questions concerning “child-based crowdsourcing” (e.g. creativity work)? /Schedule/ * Submissions due: March, 31 2017 * Reviews due: May, 15 2017 * Notification to authors: June, 15 2017 * Revised version due: July, 15 2017 * Special issue published: 2017/2018 Manuscripts are submitted via the online manuscript system at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu/ Submission type: SI: Crowd Dynamics Further information, including JCSCW submission procedures and advice on formatting and preparing manuscripts, can be found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/journal/10606 To discuss a possible contribution please contact the special issue editors at crowdsourcing-jcscw(a)listserv.uni-siegen.de <mailto:crowdsourcing-jcscw@listserv.uni-siegen.de> With best regards, Thomas Ludwig. *--* *Dr. Thomas Ludwig*(Dipl.-Wirt.Inf.)** Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik Universität Siegen, Fakultät III Kohlbettstraße 15 57072 Siegen Raum: US-D 104 (Campus Unteres Schloss) Tel.: +49 271 740-4070 Mobil: +49 176 62656570 E-Mail: thomas.ludwig(a)uni-siegen.de <mailto:thomas.ludwig@uni-siegen.de> -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi
