Modeling and Performance Analysis of the CSMA/CA Access Mechanism for IEEE 802.15.6 Wireless Body Area Networks

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a network of wearable or implanted sensors around or inside human body. In 2012, the IEEE 802.15 Working Group developed a new communication standard IEEE 802.15. 6 specifically for WBAN. The primary medium access control technique defined in this standard for narrow-band communication is slotted CSMA/CA mechanism supporting differentiated QoS service. To understand the intrinsic nature of this mechanism, the backoff procedure under saturation condition is modeled by Markov chain so that throughput, successful packet delivery rate, and delay are analyzed. Simulation results confirm the accuracy of the model analysis. Both analysis and simulation results show that this standard provides differentiated service for different priorities, however, also indicates that under saturation condition the medium is mostly preempted by the highest priority while starving other priorities.

Heutagogy (Self-Determined Learning): New Approach to Student Learning in Higher Education

The idea of self-determined learning of students is quite prevalent at least from the times of Rousseau. This paper presents innovative teacher education heutagogy (self-determined learning) courses (250 students). The students chose what to learn in the context of the main course subject, with whom (individually or in small groups), how to learn, from what resources and how to present the knowledge they had constructed. The data were collected from students' written blogs and students' products and was analyzed by collaborative self-study and multiple case-study methods. Findings demonstrated how the students and the lecturers cope with challenges like uncertainty and vagueness and turn them into meaningful learning which enhance their passion for knowledge and pleasure in learning. At the first stages of the courses most of the students felt helplessness about acting in total autonomy setting. As oppose to conventional courses, the students expressed senses of self-competence and capability and self-autonomy.
Retaining child protection workers: the effects of agency practices

This study involves a quantitative, descriptive study of the Ontario child welfare organizational practices that most influence retention of its workers. A model was created to display significant factors related to worker retention. The purpose of the research was to compare how independent variables such as worker demographics, client variables, and agency procedures, individually and together with worker job satisfaction impacted worker retention in two Ontario Children's Aid Societies. Measures utilized included the Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1997), a demographic information sheet, and an organizational survey to compare differences in the actual organizational practices and workers' satisfaction levels with those practices of the two agencies. Job satisfaction mean scores were then compared to JSS norms from the human services and nursing professions. Findings indicated that agency procedures combined with worker job satisfaction factors most contributed to retention rather than the worker demographics and client variables and this was consistent with other studies. Therefore, child welfare agencies need to increase their efforts regarding agency policies and practices such as competitive salaries, quantity and quality of supervision, and inclusive fringe benefits in order to retain workers. %%%%Ce projet de recherche englobe une etude quantitative et descriptive des pratiques organisationnelles exercant la plus grande influence sur la retention des travailleurs voues au bien-etre de l'enfance en Ontario. La creation d'un modele a permis de presenter les facteurs significatifs lies a la retention de ces travailleurs. L'objet de la recherche consistait a comparer la facon dont des variables independantes, dont les caracteristiques sociodemographiques des travailleurs, les variables liees a la clientele, ainsi que les procedures des agences, exercaient un impact, individuellement et conjointement avec la satisfaction professionnelle, sur la retention des travailleurs membres de deux societes d'aide a l'enfance de l'Ontario. Parmi les instruments de mesure utilises figuraient une enquete sur la satisfaction professionnelle (Spector, 1997), une fiche d'information demographique et un sondage organisationnel. Ces instruments visaient a comparer les differences caracterisant les pratiques organisationnelles reelles et le niveau de satisfaction des travailleurs avec les pratiques adoptees par les deux agences. Par la suite, les scores moyens de satisfaction des travailleurs ont fait l'objet d'une comparaison avec les normes de l'enquete sur la satisfaction professionnelle, dans les domaines des services a la personne et des professions infirmieres. Conclusions indiquent qu'Agence procedures associees au travailleur des facteurs de satisfaction d'emploi plus contribues a la retention plutot que la demographie de travailleur et variables client et c'etait compatible avec d'autres etudes. Par consequent, organismes de protection de l'enfance ont besoin d'accroitre leurs efforts concernant les politiques des…
Student, Neighborhood, and School Factors and Their Association With College Readiness: Exploring the Implementation of a Race- and Socioeconomic-Based Student Assignment Plan

In response to the Meredith v. Jefferson County Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) reconfigured the district’s race-based student assignment and implemented a race- and socioeconomic-based student assignment plan. Using hierarchical linear multiple regression, this study examined students’ backgrounds and school composition factors within a race- and socioeconomic-based assignment plan to determine their relationship with college and career readiness as measured by the ACT. We found that student race, participation in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), ACT PLAN performance, school composition, and neighborhood category were the largest and most consistent factors for predicting college and career readiness. African American students were at a disadvantage in each model compared with White students. Participation in NSLP was negatively associated with student performance compared with non-NSLP students, and PLAN scores positively predicted ACT performance. School composition was found negatively associated with ACT performance (Title I compared with non–Title I schools), and Category 1 and Category 2 neighborhoods were negatively associated with ACT scores compared with Category 3 neighborhoods. We conclude by discussing implications for policy, practice, and future research.
Changing Registers of Visibility: Immigrant Labor and Waste Work in Naples, Italy

Abstract In recent years, growing emphasis on green economies and green capitalism have brought renewed attention to the waste practices of all places of work, including ones that are not directly linked to neither production nor waste management, such as schools, offices, and stores, as well as households, which European countries, in particular, are increasingly depicting as key sites of intervention for recycling economies. This trend represents a departure from historical waste management policies, which tend to view waste and waste work as separate from main economic and household activities, but is consistent with market economies’ trend of outsourcing dirty, demeaning, and dangerous labor to precarious and informal workforces, while at the same time granting them only limited legal access to waste materials and trash collection sites. The new forms of waste labor emerging from green capitalism's emphasis on private and small-scale recycling behaviors are largely invisible and unpaid; however, unlike more documented forms of global environmental racism denouncing the outsourcing of toxic materials to the Global South, they take place in industrialized countries where they are pushed upon disenfranchised minorities, such as informal workers, racialized ethnic minorities, and low-income women. In this article we examine women's participation in waste work through the lenses of waste, (in)visibility, and intersectionality. We draw on ethnographic and archival data collected in the city of Naples, Italy, an area with a prolonged history of toxic waste contamination and waste mismanagement which in recent years have drawn renewed scrutiny to public waste management as well as to everyday waste practices performed in households and workplaces, predominantly by women of different race and citizenship backgrounds. Through these experiences, we highlight how the increasing visibility of waste generated by green capitalism, coupled with the stigmatization and criminalization of informal waste collection and recycling, is generating new forms of social inequalities and exclusion.
Ghost Consonants: The Glottal Stop inKaansa

The Kaansa language is spoken by about 6000 people living in southwest Burkina Faso, in 20 villages in an area of about 500 square miles. It is a Gur language, classed as central southern Gur in the Gan-Dogosé group. Laryngeal occlusives, or glottal stops (GS), are used frequently in spoken Kaansa. Thus it has been important to understand the functions of this phonetically frequent segment as we develop an orthography and literacy materials in the language. A typical complex utterance in Kaansa will manifest several GSs in its phonetic realization:
Event-Triggered Distributed Multitarget Tracking

This paper focuses on reducing communication bandwidth and, consequently, energy consumption in the context of distributed multitarget tracking over a peer-to-peer sensor network. A consensus cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CCPHD) filter with event-triggered communication is developed by enforcing each node to broadcast its local information to the neighbors only when it is worth to, i.e., the node has gained a sufficient amount of information with respect to its latest broadcasting. To this end, each sensor node separately evaluates the discrepancies of the cardinality probability mass function (PMF) and of the spatial probability density function (PDF) between the current local posterior and the one recoverable from neighbors after the latest transmission. Then, each sensor node selectively sends the specific information on the multitarget distribution (i.e., the cardinality PMF or the spatial PDF or both) that is considered to be worth transmitting (i.e., such that the respective discrepancy exceeds a preset threshold). Two types of discrepancy measures, i.e., the Kullback–Leibler divergence and the Cauchy–Schwarz divergence, are investigated. The performance of the proposed event-triggered CCPHD filter is evaluated through simulation experiments.
Climate politics in small European states

The national level has become increasingly important in the study and practice of climate politics. In its move towards a more bottom-up architecture, the Paris Agreement has ushered in a new focus on domestic policy through nationally determined contributions. Scholarly attention has seen a similar shift. Once principally the domain of international relations scholars, the study of climate change politics has paid increasing attention to the determinants of national action (Harrison and Sundstrom 2010, Steinberg and Vandeveer 2012, Cao et al. 2014). Starting from the premise that domestic politics and national governments have a key role to play in climate policymaking, this literature has focused on the politics of national climate legislation (Carter and Jacobs 2014, Lorenzoni and Benson 2014, Fankhauser et al. 2015a, 2015b, Torney 2017, Averchenkova et al. 2018, Wagner and Ylä-Anttila 2018), carbon taxation (Harrison 2010, 2012), and on broader sets of climate policy outputs and outcomes (Christoff and Eckersley 2011, Jensen and Spoon 2011, Compston and Bailey 2012, Bernauer and Böhmelt 2013, Boasson 2013, Lachapelle and Paterson 2013, Tobin 2017). Although much has been written about the politics of climate change at European and global levels, and with respect to some larger countries such as Germany, the UK, France, the United States, and China, fewer scholarly contributions have focused on small states. Smallness could be defined according to a range of criteria, such as geography or economy, but we define small states in relational terms, that is to say, on the basis of some meaningful criterion in a particular context (Thorhallsson and Wivel 2006). In the context of climate politics and policy, we consider a country’s contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) to be a relevant selection criterion. We identify ‘small’ states in this context as countries accounting for no more than 0.5% of GHGs. Large Annex I countries are the subject of at least five times as many political science, international relations, or public administration publications on climate policy and

Media and Representations in Product Design Education

The creation of product form, involves embodying a potential function and intended use while defining geometrical, ordering features. This paper aims to elaborate roles of different media and representations in design activities intended to externalise form ideas (e.g. sketching, building physical models, digital modelling, etc). To understand and explain the role of media in design activities, design diaries were analysed. These were documented as part of a master course in Advanced Form Design in spring terms 2011-2013. For course completion, the students were expected to work in groups on a project seeking creative form ideas and solutions for a dinnerware product with a high level of novelty, aesthetic detail, and functionality. Design diaries were used as an educational method for initiating and documenting self-reflections on a weekly basis. The paper discusses how different media may support design, but in some cases also constrains creativity and ability to work with three-dimensional form. Understanding and explaining this may help students and practitioners engage with, reflect on, and value the roles of media for externalising ideas.
Information Theory in Visualization

In this half-day tutorial, we review a variety of applications of information theory in visualization. The holistic nature of information-theoretic reasoning has enabled many such applications, ranging from light placement to view selection, from feature highlighting to transfer function design, from data fusion to visual multiplexing, and so on. Perhaps the most exciting application is the potential for information theory to underpin the discipline of visualization, for example, mathematically confirming the benefit of visualization in data intelligence.
Improved Call Blocking Probability Reducing Technique Using Auxiliary Stations

— In cellular networks, blocking occurs when a base station has no free channel to allocate to a mobile user, blocking can be new call blocking or handoff call blocking. One of the research challenges for cellular systems is the design of improved call admission control scheme which will reduce call blocking probability and improve the quality of service. By using auxiliary stations we can build such a scheme in future for cellular network which will reduce call blocking probability and can easily improve the quality of service.
Secure Wavelet Matrix: Alphabet-Friendly Privacy-Preserving String Search

Motivation Privacy-preserving substring matching is an important task for sensitive biological/biomedical sequence database searches. It enables a user to obtain only a substring match while his/her query is concealed to a server. The previous approach for this task is based on a linear-time algorithm in terms of alphabet size |Σ|. Therefore, a more efficient method is needed to deal with strings with large alphabet size such as a protein sequence, time-series data, and a clinical document. Results We present a novel algorithm that can search a string in logarithmic time of |Σ|. In our algorithm, named secure wavelet matrix (sWM), we use an additively homomorphic encryption to build an efficient data structure called a wavelet matrix. In an experiment using a simulated string of length 10,000 whose alphabet size ranges from 4 to 1024, the run time of the sWM was an order of magnitude faster than that of the previous method. We also tested the sWM on all sequences of one protein family in Pfam (9,826 residues in total) and clinical texts written in a natural language (77,712 letters in total). By using a laptop computer for the user and a desktop PC for the server, we found that its run time was ≈ 2.5 s (user) and ≈ 6.7 s (server) for the protein sequences and ≈ 10 s (user) and ≈ 60 s (server) for the clinical texts.

One-Party States and Legislator Extremism in the US House, 1876–2012

Do party strongholds exacerbate partisan extremism? Using over 140 years of election data and roll call votes I find that, on average, members of Congress elected in states where their party overwhelmingly dominates tend to moderate from their national party’s ideology when compared to members elected in more competitive settings. I argue that heavily one-party states have often been engendered by widespread agreement over locally salient issues, group affect, or imbalanced party organization, not because the electorate consistently agrees with one national party. Consequently, representatives have incentive to run under the dominant party label but must respond to diverse electoral pressures that align to both national parties. While scholars prominently observe one-partyism in the Democratic South, I observe that the plains and rural west, particularly between 1896 and 1932, can be characterized as one-party Republican, too. Perhaps surprisingly, state party strength since the 1990s, in a historical perspective, is quite balanced.
