Machine Learning Approach for Malware Detection by Using APKs

An android mobile phone is one of the most anticipated smart phone operating systems on the market. The open source Android platform not only allow developer to take full advantage of the mobile system, but also raises significant issues related to malicious applications (Apps). Although understanding the android malware using dynamic analysis can provide a compressive view and it is still subjected to high cost in environment development and manual effort in investigation. In this study our proposed approach provides a static and dynamic analyst paradigm for detecting android malware. The mechanism considers the static information including permissions, deployment of components, intent message passing and API calls for characterizing the android application behavior. In order to recognize different intentions of android malware, different kind of clustering and classification can be applied to enhance the malware detection capability. Our approach extracts the information from the each APKs manifest file, and regards component (Activity, Receiver, Services) as entry points drilling down for tracing API calls related to permissions. Next it applies detection methods based on matching (Signature matching) and learning (SVM and random forest) algorithm to classify the applications as benign or malicious. The experimental results show that the accuracy of our approach is better than one of the well-known tool, Androguard, also it is efficient since its take half of the time than Androguard to predict 600 applications as benign or malicious. The open source Android platform allows developer to take full advantage of the mobile.
Evaluation of a nationwide mass media campaign aimed at prevention of weight gain in Dutch young adults

textabstractThe prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing rapidly. In the Netherlands, the prevalence of obesity has roughly doubled over the last decade and now more than 40% of the Dutch adult population is overweight and more than 10% obese. To promote weight-gain preventive actions among non-obese Dutch young adults, in December 2002 the Netherlands Nutrition Centre launched the nationwide campaign ‘Maak je niet dik! ’1. Mass media, such as television and radio (commercials), newspapers and magazines, a brochure and posters were used to convey the campaign messages. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to the planned development, implementation and evaluation of weight-gain prevention strategies to be used in the mass media campaign. To promote systematic, evidence-based and theory-driven development and implementation of the ‘Maak je niet dik! ’ campaign, a basic, simple model for planning and promoting health education was used during the research. The first three phases of this model refer to the ‘needs assessment’ used to identify serious health problems as well as to identify the most important and appropriate changeable determinants of risk factors for these problems. The needs assessment is followed by the ‘development of the intervention’. In this phase, those intervention methods that induce change in the determinants identified by the needs assessment are ascertained and developed. These methods are then translated into deliverable intervention strategies and evaluated for their efficacy.
L'art rupestre à gravures naturalistes de l'Adrar des Iforas (Mali)

Etude contextuelle d'une quarantaine de gravures rupestres de style naturaliste realisees au nord-ouest de l'Adrar des Iforas. Ces oeuvres et quelques gravures stylisees associees, sont les plus anciennes manifestations artistiques de la region. Des gravures rupestres apparentees sur les plans des themes et des styles sont presentes dans une aire geographique recouvrant la majeure partie du Sahara central et meridional. Les donnees issues des fouilles archeologiques alliees a celles enregistrees sur les paleomilieux holocenes en regard des themes traites sur les rochers, permettent de situer l'âge d'expression de cet art rupestre du Sahara a gravures naturalistes entre le VI e millenaire et la fin du IV e millenaire av. J.-C. , A cette epoque, le Sahara etait soumis a des regimes de precipitations differenciees dependant de la latitude. Le caractere animalier predominant des oeuvres et leur densite variable suivant la latitude, conduisent a en attribuer les realisations a une societe pastorale qui etait composee de groupes d'eleveurs mobiles. Certains de ces eleveurs atteignirent le nord-ouest de l'Adrar des Iforas ou ils realiserent une quarantaine de gravures rupestres semblables a celles que l'on retrouve sur les rochers des regions plus septentrionales.
Impact of High Speed Modulation Technique on Wireless Network Parameters

— Mobility in wireless network is essential for users to move seamlessly. The type of modulation adopted plays a vital role in the performance of wireless network. In this paper, a wireless network has been implemented in OPNET to analyze the effect of modulation techniques on the network parameters such as BER and throughput at low transmission powers of 10 mW for different communication distances. It is observed that BER increases and throughput decreases as the order of modulation technique increases.

Outcome of 27 Patients with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's Granulomatosis) Patients in Iran

Background: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) which also known as Wegener's Granulomatosis is a rare disease. GPA is a heterogeneous disease that involves different organs with variable severities and a relapsing course. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the demographic data, clinical and laboratory presentations, prevalence of involvement in various organs, therapeutic regimens, response to treatment and relapse rate in Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) patients in Yazd Province, central Iran. Method: This is a retrospective descriptive study, including 27 patients with definite diagnosis of GPA from 2005 to 2014. Mean duration of follow up was 5 years. Results: Patients mean age was 35.42 years and male/female ratio 1.45. Initially involved organs were lower respiratory tract (40.7%), musculoskeletal system (33.3%) and upper respiratory tract (25.9%). In course of disease upper respiratory tract (74.7%), renal system (66.7%) and lower respiratory tract (62.9%) were the most involved organs. Cytoplasmic anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (cANCA) was positive in 88.8% and perinuclear anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (pANCA) in 18.51% of patients. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was high in 88.8%. Therapeutic regimens included prednisolone and cyclophosphamide were prescribed for induction in most patients (88.8%). Three patients were treated with plasmapheresis due to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), and three with Rituximab due to refractory to conventional treatment, successfully. Complete remission was seen in 44.4% and partial remission in 33.3% patients after three months, also in 74.07% and 14.81% of cases after 12 months. Relapse occurred in 66.7% of cases. There was no significant correlation between cANCA and clinical manifestation or outcome in this study. (P value>0.05) Conclusion: In our patients, the involvement of lower respiratory tract was more than the upper part as presentation. However, during the course of disease involvement of the upper respiratory tract was observed more. Administration of rituximab was successful in patients with refractory to conventional therapy.

VHF radio signal modulation classification based on convolution neural networks

Deep learning architecture has been attracting increasing attention due to the successful applications in various fields. However, its application in radio system has not been well explored. In this paper, we consider the very high frequency (VHF) radio signal modulation classification based on convolution neural networks (CNN). The main principle of CNN is analysed and a five-layer CNN model is built. The proposed CNN-based modulation classification method is proved useful for simulated radio signals generated by MATLAB, that the overall classification accuracy is high even in low SNR. In addition, the proposed CNN-based method is used for real VHF radio signals, and the key factors effecting the classification accuracy
Drug-induced toxic Myocarditis: Doxorubicin once again leading to Heart Failure

Treatment protocols in Oncology experienced massive changes in recent decades which have contributed to improve the morbidity and mortality of cancer. However, these advances were often achieved at the expense of significant side effects. The authors describe a case of a 62 year old woman with Follicular non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma who develops a toxic Myocarditis due to Doxorubicin. Anthracyclines cardiotoxicity is an established irreversible complication. There are a few measures that shall be taken into account in order to supervise, prevent and treat these patients
Nutritional Requirements for Maternal and Newborn Health

During pregnancy, dietary energy and nutrient requirements are increased to support metabolism changes of the mother, as blood volume and red cells expansion, and the delivery of energy and nutrients to the fetus. This review aims to: i) identify and discuss maternal physiological changes during pregnancy related to nutrition; ii) clarify about the most recently nutritional recommendations for pregnant women, including special groups of pregnant women, who do not usually practice a healthy diet, those who are in high-risk categories and pregnant athletes; iii) and clarify the importance of breastfeeding, specifically for the newborn, and infant formulae, as an alternative feeding. A literature review was undertaken by electronic databases PubMed, b-on, Scielo, Medline, Web of Science and Science Direct. The most recent original articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses were used to search information from pregnancy, newborn baby, postpartum and nutritional status. The intake of whole grains, fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy and lean meats can be preventive for an appropriate maternal weight and infant weight. Supplements should only be used when there is a deficiency. Special groups of pregnant women who do not usually practice a healthy diet, those who are in high-risk categories and pregnant athletes should daily take a multivitamin andmineral preparation containing a variety of nutrients beginning in the second trimester. A healthy diet and an appropriate body weight are mandatory for maternal health and fetal outcomes. Breast milk is a unique source of energy and nutrients for the infant.
Modeling Computer Communication Networks in a Realistic 3D Environment

Abstract : Communication network simulations have typically been visualized in the past through 2D representations, but this is insufficient for battlefield network scenarios. Visual representations of battlefield networks greatly benefit from 3D visualization due to its ability to retain asset location. This research investigates the feasibility of modeling a typical battlefield communication network in a realistic 3D manner and discusses the effects of doing so. The result is an open source, 3D network visualization tool that can create highly intuitive connected battlefield scenes, enabling the user to quickly comprehend network state. It highlights mobile assets, packet movement, and node connectivity while allowing the viewer to interact with the scene.

Plaques containing β-amyloid ( Aβ) protein are one of the pathological features of AD, and the reduction of Aβ is considered as a prima-ry therapeutic target. Aβ immunotherapy is an evolving approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease now. In this article, we will review active and passive immunization against Aβ and the studies related to AD immunotherapy.
Changing of Pelvic Incidence after Lumbosacral Fusion: A Retrospective Study in Bangkok Hospital.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the changing of pelvic incidence in patients who received lumbar and lumbosacral fusion with pedicle screw fixation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a single-institute, retrospective study. From 2011-2016, 113 cases of lumbar and lumbosacral fusion with pedicle screw fixation were reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative (at 6-week, 1-year and latest follow-up) pelvic parameters including Pelvic incidence (PI), Pelvic tilt (PT), Sacral slope (SS) and Lumbar lordosis (LL) were measured in standing lateral view X-ray by 2 independent fellow-trained spine surgeon who were blind to the operation. Difference in preoperative and postoperative PI was defined as Pelvic incidence disparity (ΔPI). Other characteristic data of patients were also collected, including age, sex, body mass index, diagnosis, fusion technique, number of fusion levels and level of fusion. RESULTS: Pelvic incidence disparity (ΔPI) was 3.2o ± 4.0 at 6-week postoperative, 3.3o ± 4.0 at 1-year postoperative and 3.2o ± 3.4 at last follow-up. This showed a significant change when compared to preoperative but did not change significantly over time after surgery. There was no correlation between ΔPI and fusion technique, L5-S1 fusion, diagnosis and number of fusion segments. CONCLUSION: Lumbar and lumbosacral fusion with pedicle screw fixation can alter pelvic incidence parameters. This could be a consequence from increased stress and motion in SI joint after the surgery.

Methodology for quantitative assessment of combat casualty care

Evaluating proficiency in simulation-based combat casualty training includes the assessment of hands-on training with mannequins through instructor observation. The evaluation process is error-prone due to high student–instructor ratios as well as the subjective nature of the evaluation process. Other logistical inconsistencies, such as the short amount of time to observe individual student performance, can lessen training effectiveness as well. The simulation-based methodology described in this article addresses these challenges by way of quantitative assessment of training effectiveness in combat casualty training. The methodology discusses adaptation of Lempel–Ziv (LZ) complexity indexing to quantify psychomotor activity that is otherwise only subjectively estimated by an instructor. LZ indexing has been successfully used to assess proficiency in related studies of simulation-based training conducted by Bann et al. at the Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine in London, and more recently by Watson at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This type of analysis has been applied to using simulation as a tool to assess not only mastery of a task, but as a method to assess whether a particular simulator and training approach actually works. Data have been gathered from nearly 100 military combat medic trainees at Joint Base Lewis McChord Medical Simulation Training Center. Participant hand-acceleration data from an emergency surgical cricothyrotomy reveals a statistically significant difference in ability between expertise levels. The higher the LZ scores and self-reported expertise level, the better the participant performed. The results show that when presented with demographic and video performance-based data, it is possible to gauge experience by applying LZ scoring to motion data. The methodology provides an objective measure that complements the subjective component of simulation-based cricothyrotomy training assessments. Further study is needed to determine whether this methodology would provide similar assessment advantages in other medical training in which speed and accuracy would be significant factors in determining procedural expertise.
精熟學習策略配合微電腦化S-P表分析診斷對學生學習效果的實驗研究An Experimental Study of the Effects of Mastery Learning Combined with the Diagnosis of Microcomputerized S-P Chart Analysis on Students' Learning

本研究以 93 名國中學生， 141 名中小學敎師爲對象，分別初步調查「 S － P 表分析」、「精熟學習策略配合 S － P 表分析診斷」之功能的意見。 其次以 64 名大學生爲對象，進行「精熟學習策略配合 S-P 表分析診斷」敎學模式對學習效果之實驗。 本研究事先設計一套中文系統的微電腦 S-P 表分析程式，以供實驗用。 本研究得到如下發現： 一、微電腦化 S － P 表分析具有學習診斷功能，可做補救敎學的依據，廣受國中生與中小學敎師喜歡。 二、中小學敎師認爲微電腦化 S － P 表分析具有改進命題之功能。 三、 S － P 表給學生囘饋最好不列印學生姓名，給敎師囘饋則需列印。 四、精熟學習策略配合 S － P 表分析診斷之敎學模式有助於大學生的認知學習，但無助於情意學習。 根據上述結論，本研究提出建議：一、微電腦化 S － P 表分析值得推廣應用，二、 S － P 表分析之限制尚待改進，三、精熟學習策略配合微電腦化 S － P 表分析診斷之敎學模式在其他方面之適用性尚待進一步實證研究。 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of "mastery learning combined with the diagnosis of microcomputerized S-P chart analysis (ML-SP)" on students' learning. In the first study, a sample of 93junior high school students and 141 secondary and primary teachers were chosen for this study. After the students received the feedback of S-P chart on their midterm examinations and the teachers participated in the work shop of the teaching model of ML-SP, the students' attitudes toward the function of S-P chart and the teachers' attitudes toward ML-SP were surveyed. In the second study, a sample of 64 university students, 33 as experimental group and 31 as control group, was used to investigate the effects of the teaching model of ML-SP compared with the traditional teaching model. An S-P chart package used in 16 bit PC was designed in advance for this study. The findings are as follows: 1. A large number of students and teachers liked the feedback of S-P chart analysis on their tests. 2. Most of the teachers agreed that S-P chart has the function of improving test item analysis. 3. It was better not to list each student's name on the S-P chart when the S-P chart was provided as feedback to students, but it should be listed forteachers. 4. The teaching model of ML-SP was helpful for cognitive, but not affective learning for university students. Based on the above findings, two suggestions are presented: 1. Microcomputerized S-P chart analysis deserves to be widely used in learning diagnosis. 2. The effectiveness of the teaching model of ML-SP still need further research.
A Word Length Allocation Method for Multipliers of the Lossless DCT( Special Section on Papers Selected from ITC-CSCC 2002)

あらまし 可逆/非可逆・統合符号化の一手法としてリフティング構成された可逆 DCT(LDCT)が近年研究 されている. 例として,乗算器のない 4 点可逆アダマール変換を用いて LDCT の乗算器数を低減する手法や, 非分離型 2 次元構成による丸め誤差の低減手法などが挙げられる. しかし,演算負荷の軽減を目的とした乗算係 数値の短語長化については,LDCTに関してはこれまであまり研究されていない. 本論文では LDCT 内の乗算 器係数値の短語長化による画質劣化の度合として「画質係数感度」を新たに定義し,これを用いた乗算係数値の 語長配分法を提案する. シミュレーション実験の結果,一様な語長配分を行った場合よりもおよそ 2ビット程度 短い平均語長で同等の画質を実現できること,及び,従来の実数乗算を,平均語長 3 [bit]程度の整数乗算に置換 できることが示された. 本論文で述べた係数感度を考慮して従来の実数乗算を整数乗算に置換することで,例え ばリアルタイムソフトウェアエンコーダのような応用における処理の高速化や,ハードウェア実現時の回路規模 の縮小が期待できると考えられる. キーワード 可逆,DCT,感度,語長,ラウンディング
OER perspectives: emerging issues for universities

This reflection examines some of the continuing and emerging issues in the open educational resources (OER) field. These include blending OER with university management structures; formal and non-formal OER; the need for sustainable OER business models; and expanding awareness, adoption, and use of OER. In the future, research will need to examine the concept of open educational practices (OEP) and OER issues relevant to faculty incentives and career advancement in the university. The author suggests there is no silver bullet solution to the “open” road ahead. Proprietary and open content will coexist in the education sector. OER are not a panacea for resolving all the range of global education issues and divides. OER are, however, a valuable resource that must be developed and sustained. OER may ultimately be the genuine equalizer for education and for empowering social inclusion in a pluralistic, multicultural, and imperfect world.

Of Musical Hand Chairs and Linguistic Swing

In the past, there has been extensive research on compounding, beginning with Gleitman and Gleitman (1970), which studied the productivity of different types of compounding in English. Clark (1993) reviewed the acquisition of productive compounding across languages and found that in languages with productive compounding, children produce novel compounds, while in languages without productive compounding, children do not produce such novel compounds. For example, French does not allow productive compounding, and Snyder and Chen (1997) found that children acquiring French do not produce novel compounds. In this paper, we focus on cross-linguistic variation in the semantics of productive nominal compounding. By “productive” and “novel”, we are referring to the creative and innovative aspect of language. We are concerned with the unconscious production and understanding of compounds, and not with conscious coinages. If we take a look at English, we find that nominal compounding is rather free, with fully productive, novel compounding. Some examples of nominal compounding from spontaneous speech data are shown in (1).
