Improving Accessibility and Security for Mobile Phone Shopping

Mobile shopping has not been widely deployed because of many factors like expensive connection fees, trouble in treating accounts, exposure of personal information and lack of products information. In this paper, we propose two schemes for promoting mobile phone shopping considering the attributes of security, instant connectivity and personalization. The one scheme is used for reducing connection fees and offering instant connectivity, and the other is used for enhancing password security against shoulder surfing attack during inputting of password on the clients mobile phone. To support the proposed schemes, we develop two kinds of mobile applications that considered interoperability and then apply them to a shoes mobile shopping mall. A client side personalization application shows its efficiency by reducing the data transmission time compared with a non-personalization scheme. A novel password system application also shows its security against shoulder surfing attack.
Visualize music and ‘Sonify’ pictures: studying children’s and adults’ pitch-height invented notations

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is the exploration of pitch-height mapping via invented notations rendered by schoolchildren and adults with and without formal musical training, while they listen to a classical composition, characterised by pitch-height polarity. Subjects (N = 108) include first-graders, fourth-graders, undergraduate and graduate college music students, and PhD university non-musicians. During a 45-minutes session, each group listened to a piano work entitled ‘Drum and Pipe’ by Andre Hajdu, a contemporary Israeli composer. The piece consists of a vivid tune in the highest range and a steady accompaniment in the lowest register. Through self-invented notations, subjects were asked to visualise the music, which was performed live by the author, and to render information about their notations. During a second session subjects were asked to ‘sonify’ (decode) their notations on the piano. Data was analysed in terms of morphological, structural and conceptual indicators. Results reveal the effect of age and musical expertise on the ability to render pitch-height mapping. Yet a profusion of idiosyncratic pitch-height metaphors were conveyed by young and mature listeners alike, bothwith and without formal musical training. A cyclical encoding/decoding scheme is proposed for music education and the exploration of invented notation.
Moral Disengagement and School Bullying Perpetration in Middle Childhood: A Short-Term Longitudinal Study in Sweden

ABSTRACT The aim of the current study was to longitudinally investigate the bi-directional relationship between moral disengagement and bullying perpetration in a sample of 1,354 students from 108 elementary classes in 69 public schools. Students participated in the study both at Time 1 (fourth grade) and around one year later at Time 2 (fifth grade). Structural equation model analyses showed that bullying perpetration at Time 1 predicted moral disengagement at Time 2, when controlling for moral disengagement stability over time. In addition, we found that moral disengagement at Time 1 also predicted bullying perpetration at Time 2, when controlling for bullying perpetration at Time 1. These findings suggest that teachers, school staff, and professionals should consider interventions that address moral disengagement when working with children involved in bullying.
Price Expectations and the U.S. Housing Boom

As it has proved difficult to explain the recent US house price boom on the basis of fundamentals, many observers have emphasised the role of speculation. This kind of argument is, however, indirect, as speculation is treated as a deviation from a benchmark. Our paper identifies house price expectation shocks directly, using a VAR with sign restrictions. House price expectation shocks are the most important driver of the US house price boom. We also show that a model-based measure of changes in price expectations leads a survey-based measure. Our baseline specification leaves the question of whether expectation shifts are realistic or unrealistic unanswered. In alternative specifications, we provide evidence that expectation shifts during the boom were largely unrealistic.
Strategic choices in the design of entrepreneurship education: an explorative study of Swedish higher education institutions

ABSTRACT This article proposes a taxonomy of entrepreneurship education, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of how higher education contributes to society. Entrepreneurship education programs have become a prominent feature in the curricula of many universities and business schools. Often it is developed in parallel with national policy, as described for our empirical context of Sweden. We identify four types using broad principles in terms of four different key variables described within. To identify our proposed types, we perform a cluster analysis of all 37 universities with entrepreneurship educations in one country. Previous literature provides mixed evidence about entrepreneurship programs’ effect on the likelihood of alumni starting a business afterwards. Our contribution is to specify this taxonomy through broad principles, leading to interesting questions about the competing goals between theory and practice in learning outcomes. We conclude with suggested directions for future research and implications for higher education policy.
The mediating role of positive psychological capital between perceived leadership styles and workplace advice network closeness

This paper attempts to explore mediation by positive psychological capital (PsyCap) between perceived leadership styles (PLS) and workplace advice network closeness. Fifteen different groups with a composition of 20-25 members were randomly selected in small workplaces which reached a total sample size of 329 cases. Data were collected using a partly-borrowed questionnaire of 30 items (12 for total PsyCap; 18 for PLS) and a sociometric matrix to measure workplace advice network closeness. Results of the categorical regression analyses (CATREG) showed PLS moving from authoritative to laissez-faire reduced the closeness of followers in the workplace advice network. The same shift in the leadership styles from authoritative to laissez-faire improved followers’ PsyCap. Furthermore, an improved PsyCap of the followers tended to improve the closeness centrality. As advice is a very comprehensive term, further studies into knowledge sharing, flow instruction and directions may be carried out to advance the field of knowledge. Further, studies on how individual components of PsyCap affect closeness may also be considered.
A gaze estimation method and system for natural light cameras

Els dispositius de seguiment d'ulls han estat tradicionalment utilitzats nomes dins dels laboratoris, i requerien professionals capacitats i mecanismes de configuracio elaborats. No obstant aixo, en els ultims anys el treball cientific sobre dispositius facils d'usar que no requereixen cap maquinari especial—a part de les omnipresents cameres frontals en ordinadors, tauletes i mobils —te com a objectiu fer aquesta tecnologia accessible. Aquests tipus de seguidors tenen diversos desafiaments addicionals que dificulten el problema, com imatges de baixa resolucio proporcionades per una camera web normal, les condicions canviants d'il·luminacio ambiental, les diferencies d'aparenca personal, els canvis en la postura del cap, etc. La investigacio recent en el camp s'ha centrat en tots aquests desafiaments amb la finalitat de proporcionar millors resultats d'estimacio de la mirada en una configuracio del mon real. En aquest treball, tractem d'abordar el problema de seguiment de la mirada en una configuracio de camera unica. Primer analitzem tota la feina previa al camp, identificant les fortaleses i debilitats de cada idea provada. Comencem el nostre treball amb un metode d'estimacio de la mirada basat en l'aparenca, que es la idea mes simple que crea una correlacio directa entre un pegat d'imatge rectangular extret voltant de l'ull en una imatge de camera i el punt de mirada. Aqui, fem una extensa analisi dels factors que afecten l'execucio d'aquest seguidor en diverses configuracions experimentals, per tal d'abordar aquests problemes en futurs treballs. A la segona part del nostre treball, proposem un metode d'estimacio de la mirada basat en caracteristiques, que codifica la imatge de la regio ocular en una representacio compacta. Argumentem que aquest tipus de representacio es mes adequat per a tractar amb la postura del cap i canvis en la condicio d'il·luminacio, ja que redueix la dimensionalitat de l'entrada (es a dir, la imatge de l'ull) i trenca la connexio directa entre les intensitats dels pixels de la imatge i l'estimacio de la mirada. Finalment, utilitzem un algoritme d'alineacio de la cara per tenir una estimacio de la postura de cara robusta, fent servir un model 3D personalitzat per al subjecte que fa servir el seguidor. Combinem aixo amb una xarxa neuronal convolucional entrenada en un gran conjunt de dades d'imatges per aconseguir un seguidor de mirades invariant a la postura de la cara.

Social Network Disagreement and Reasoned Candidate Preferences

This study investigates the effects of social network disagreement on candidate preferences. Although much research has explored the effects of disagreement on political tolerance and disengagement, less work has examined the relation between disagreement and political reasoning. We predicted that because disagreement reveals conflicting points of view and motivates people to consider these views, it should promote more effortful reasoning—and thus increased reliance on policy preferences and decreased reliance on party identification when choosing between candidates. Using panel data from the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Presidential elections, we find that respondents in high-disagreement networks tend to shift their candidate preferences to align with their policy preferences regardless of their party identification. In low-disagreement networks, respondents tended to follow party over policy. In sum, the determinants of candidate preferences differ depending on individuals’ social networks. In some cases, disagreement may promote more normatively desirable political decision-making.
Relational decomposition using Answer Set Programming

Motivated by an analogy with matrix decomposition, we introduce the novel problem of relational decomposition. In matrix decomposition, one is given a matrix and has to decompose it as a product of other matrices. In relational decomposition, one is given a relation r and one has to decompose it as a conjunctive query of a particular form q :– q1 ∧ . ∧ qn. Furthermore, the decomposition has to satisfy certain constraints (e.g. that r ≈ q holds). Relational decomposition is thus the inverse problem of querying as one is given the result of the query and has to compute the relations constituting the query itself. We show that relational decomposition generalizes several well-studied problems in data mining such as tiling, boolean matrix factorization, and discriminative pattern set mining. Furthermore, we provide an initial strategy for solving relational decomposition problems that is based on answer set programming. The resulting problem formalizations and corresponding solvers fit within the declarative modelling paradigm for data mining.

The self in self-conscious emotions: A cognitive appraisal approach.

When Jeff Skilling, former CEO of Enron, applied to Harvard Business School at the age of 26, he had trouble coming across positively to the admissions officer. He had spent most of his college years gambling (and losing) thousands of dollars in the stock market rather than focusing on schoolwork, and this was evident from his transcript. At some point during the interview the admissions officer finally lost his patience with the young man, and asked Skilling, point blank, “Jeff, are you smart? ” To which Skilling replied, without missing a beat, “I’m f*cking smart” (Clark, 2006). Although this kind of unabashed hubristic pride may have won Skilling a place in the Harvard Business School’s class of 1979, it also may have been a cause of Skilling’s impulsive risk taking, his willingness to exaggerate his successes, and his development of reckless policies that eventually led to the downfall of Enron and Skilling’s criminal indictment for fraud. As psychologists who seek to understand the affective roots of Skilling’s behavior, we cannot be satisfied by simply blaming it on a pattern of high positive or negative affect, or high or low activation. Skilling’s actions and personality can only be fully understood by invoking the discrete self-conscious emotions of pride and shame, which likely motivated much of his behavior throughout his life. In fact, self-conscious emotions play a central role in motivating and regulating almost all of people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (Campos, 1995; Fischer & Tangney, 1995). Most people spend a great deal of time avoiding social approbation, a strong elicitor of shame and embarrassment. We worry about losing social status in the eyes of others and, as Goffman (1955) noted, our every social act is influenced by even the slight chance of public shame or loss of “face. ” In fact, according to the “Cooley–Scheff conjecture,” we are “virtually always in a state of either pride or shame” (Scheff, 1988, p. 399). Researchers have linked self-conscious emotions to a wide array of empirical out-
Factors Affecting Production and Marketing of Spices in Ethiopia: A Review

A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for the purpose of flavoring, and sometimes as a preservative by killing or preventing the growth of harmful bacteria (Masresha, 2010). Spices can be defined as “vegetable products used for flavoring, seasoning and imparting aroma in foods” (FAO, 2005). Ethiopia is a source country for many spice exports, with a long history of spices. The average land covered by spices is approximately 222,700 ha with production reaching 244,000 tons per year. More than 50 spices are produced in Ethiopia, and a total potential for low land spice farming is estimated to be 200,000 hectares (GIT, 2016).
Temporal versus spatial interpretation of cusp ion structures observed by two spacecraft

[1] A series of nearly simultaneous cusp crossings by the Polar and Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) spacecraft are used to investigate the development of cusp structures such as sudden changes in the energy of cusp precipitating ions. While such changes are generally interpreted as temporal signatures, recent investigations show evidence that such features can also be interpreted as spatial structures. Our analysis of four events during stable solar wind conditions confirms that cusp structures observed by one satellite are remarkably similar to cusp features observed up to several hours later by a second satellite. Using the spatial separation of the Polar and FAST spacecraft, the cusp features could also be traced over several hours in magnetic local time. These similarities led to the conclusion that large-scale cusp structures are spatial structures related to global ionospheric convection pattern set up by magnetic merging and not the result of temporal variations in reconnection parameters.
Epistemic and Deontic Authority in the Argumentum Ad Verecundiam

The aim of this paper is to elaborate tools that would allow us to analyse arguments from authority and guard against fallacious uses of them. To accomplish this aim, we extend the list of existing argumentation schemes representing arguments from authority. For this purpose, we formulate a new argumentation scheme for argument from deontic authority along with a matching set of critical questions used to evaluate it. We argue that clarifying the ambiguity between arguments from epistemic and deontic authority helps building a better explanation of the informal fallacy of appeal to authority (argumentum ad verecundiam).

Pre-Service Elementary Mathematics Teachers' Views on Geometric Constructions: Building on the Paper or Interactive Whiteboard?.

This study examined pre-service teachers’ views and experiences of building geometric constructions on paper and with the interactive whiteboard. The study group consisted of 26 pre-service elementary teachers in a state university in the Black Sea region of Turkey who took the Geometry Teaching course. The data were obtained from an opinion form consisting of open-ended questions and field notes. Findings revealed that almost all of the teachers had no experience with geometric constructions in their previous education and the majority of pre-service teachers' opinions about geometric construction activities are positive. They experienced more problems when building geometric constructions on the interactive whiteboard so their opinions about building geometric constructions on paper are more positive than building on the interactive whiteboard. Moreover, it was determined that preservice teachers’ views imply that building geometric constructions on the interactive whiteboard makes sense in the affective learning domain, whereas building on paper contributes more to the cognitive learning domain.
