Organised crime groups are pumping money into hunting for such vulnerabilities, placing the everyday user at ever greater risk.
The increasing connectivity of networks and smart devices allows for greater efficiency and operational flexibility but comes at the significant cost of making the system exposed to multiple vulnerabilities, placing the system under the constant threat of external attacks.
The class is an invitation to vulnerability, a place to write beyond the margins of the self.
The state has a negative image that is only becoming worse: we have endemic corruption, disrespect for human rights and widespread social vulnerability in place of a social safety net.
As elegantly articulated by Calgaro (2010), vulnerability is place- and system-specific, contextualized, highly scaled, dynamic, and differential and a households or population's characteristics, the multiple stressors they face, and their capacity to respond and adapt, changes spatially and temporally.
Indeed, vulnerability is place and time-specific requiring different methods to measure vulnerable places and communities to climate change risks.
For many participants, this situation deepened their individual vulnerability and placed considerable pressure on already strained household resources.
Again, this may be beneficial for some communities but it is important to acknowledge that the expansion of testing and treatment coverage 'are not substitute to the removal of vulnerabilities that place people at risk of infection in the first place (which incidentally, overlap with vulnerabilities preventing access to [HIV care and] treatment' (Nguyen et al. 2011, p. 292).
But even when attention is paid, the persistence of outdated kit leaves vulnerabilities in place.
Whereas many researchers and clinicians accept that affording patients some control over the dental environment reduces fear and anxiety, the Cognitive Vulnerability Model places perceived lack of control as a core cognitive variable in the etiology of fear.
